Years from now when we look at the history of Northampton Community College, the
2004-2005 academic year will be remembered as an incredible 12-month period when
significant changes and decisions occurred that affected the life of the college for
many, many years. Our purchase of the Southside Center, after two years of investigation and negotiation, will
open the door for thousands of students and present us with countless program opportunities. This major investment of
resources, both financial and human, illustrates the College’s commitment to access and to connecting in a very positive
way to our community. The Southside Center will require years of additional work for us to realize its full potential, but
no other project has generated more community support or excitement on campus than our move to the Southside.
Rivaling the Southside for hot topics in the hallways
is the opening of the Spartan Center, the hiring of two
new vice presidents and the promotion of a third, and our
reaccreditation by Middle States. One only needed to see
the facial expressions of faculty and students as they
entered the Spartan Center at commencement to realize
how impressive a facility it is. Students and community
members will benefit from this state-of-the-art facility that
effectively combines teaching stations with student lounge
space. Now we anxiously await the completion of the 11 new
classrooms that will occupy the old gym.
The three new vice presidents are Dr. Michael McGovern,
vice president for academic affairs; James Dunleavy, vice
president of finance and operations; and Mardi McGuireClosson, vice president for student affairs. Mardi, of course,
has been our dean of students since 1992 and has earned the
promotion to vice president. Mike and Jim bring a wealth of
experience and a sincere commitment to student/customer
service. Our success is dependent upon strong leadership
that honors and supports the work of others. I am confident
that Mike, Jim and Mardi will provide excellent enlightened
thinking for years to come.
In 2004-2005, we also experienced a leadership change
within the board of trustees. David Reed, chairman for 15
years, stepped down and was replaced by Karl Stackhouse.
Karl has been on our board for 18 years, serving as vice
chairman for 15 years. The visionary leadership provided
by David and Karl has allowed Northampton to develop
into a progressive, responsive institution that was recently
identified by our Middle States visiting team as a college
“on the move.” A Middle States self-study, culminating this
past spring, found our college to have met all 14 standards
for accreditation.
Next year, our challenge will be to continue to find ways
to build on our past successes. In 2005-2006, we plan to:
lp
lace even greater emphasis on the importance of civic
engagement throughout our curriculum.
lf
ocus on gaining local and state support to have a comprehensive campus in Monroe County.
l further institutionalize our assessment efforts.
As indicated in the pages that follow, the community
support we have received has been overwhelming. The
success of our capital campaign illustrates this support, but
it is also an indication of how much a part of the community
the College has become.
We remain excited about our work, and we thank all
who have supported us, studied with us and been part of this
remarkable journey. l

This spring, Northampton Community College successfully completed
its every-10-year reaccreditation process when the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education assessment team gave the college a
flawless review report.
The team cited 22 accomplishments and attributes as exemplary. The commendations
focused on academic processes, curriculum matters, student services, financial integrity and internal
communication.
This annual report to the community uses seven of the Commission’s commendation topics

Northampton’s “responsiveness to
student needs” leads a list of exemplary
attributes cited by the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education
in its 2005 evaluation report. “The
entire College community should feel very proud,”
said Dr. Arthur Scott, NCC president, after receiving
the evaluation. “The report could not have been
more positive.”
Through the year, some high-visibility examples of
the College’s responsiveness were playing out and unfolding.
Enrollment growth continued unabated, impacting class
scheduling and straining room campus space accommodations.
A new student activity facility, christened the Spartan
Center, was completed just in time to host a crowd of
nearly 3,000 for spring commencement ceremonies.
Without a break, work began on the next big
project, converting the former gym area into
classroom space. The renovated area will include
11 new classrooms, a large tiered lecture hall, two
computer labs, and two multi-purpose rooms that
can be set up in a variety of ways. Faculty offices
and an expanded food preparation area for the
cafeteria are also in the plans.
NCC enrolled 11,997 credit students in 20042005, an increase of 7 percent over the previous year.
In-county enrollment increased 5 percent. The 20042005 academic year culminated in the first commencement
ceremonies held in the new Spartan Center, when over 1,000
students received their degrees. l

teachingcivicengagement
As the pivotal 2004 general election approached, NCC received a
$25,000 grant from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s
“Help America Vote College Poll
Worker Program” to encourage
voter participation.
The grant was awarded to enable the
College to recruit and train students to
assist in voter registration offices and/or
at the polls in a three-county area (Lehigh,
Monroe and Northampton). The funding was
commissioned in response to a nationwide shortage of poll workers in the 2000 election.
Coordinated by Debbie Bohr, service learning administrator at Northampton Community College, the project
organized students and staff to provide on-site assistance, with a secondary goal of inspiring some students to
continue working as volunteers in
future elections. The initiative was
one of many activities the College organized to promote civic
engagement during an election
year. Others included voter registration drives, debate watches,
roundtables with local candidates,
a national issues forum, a panel
discussion examining media coverage of the presidential campaign, an
election night open house, and a postelection forum titled “How do we Sustain
Civic Engagement After the Elections?”
Only 15 grants were awarded nationwide through
the “Help America Vote College Poll Worker Program.”
Northampton Community College was the only recipient in
Pennsylvania. l

Before a dinner crowd of more than 500
employees and faculty, Assistant
Professor of English Randy Boone
received the prized Christensen
Award for Excellence in Teaching
for 2005.
Sharon Hendriksen, director
of the College’s Learning Center,
received the Professional Staff
Excellence Award.
The Adjunct Faculty Excellence in
Teaching Award went to Joseph Locke,
and Ann Raines was awarded the Excellence in Non-Credit Instruction Award.
Jackie Bare, faculty secretary, was
selected for the Support Staff Excellence Award.
At the awards ceremony, Trustee
Chairman Karl Stackhouse announced that retiring dean,
Doreen Smith, would be named
administrator
emeritus.
Smith joined the faculty
in 1969 as an instructor of
English, served many years
as dean of arts and sciences,
and retired as acting vice president for academic affairs. l
The College gained three top administrators last year — one through
promotion from within and two through aggressive recruitment.
The board of trustees at its June meeting appointed Mardi
McGuire-Closson to vice president for student affairs, Dr. Michael
J. McGovern to vice president for academic affairs, and James F.
Dunleavy as vice president of finance and operations.
McGuire-Closson served as NCC’s dean of students since 1992
and as director of admissions prior to that.
Dr. McGovern came to NCC from College Misericordia in Dallas,
PA. He has an extensive background in higher education, both as
a faculty member and as an administrator. He has taught at Lehigh
University, Alvernia College and Lehigh Carbon Community College.
Dunleavy came to NCC with more than 20 years of experience
in financial management, strategic planning and business
development. His immediate prior position was at Easton Hospital
where he was in charge of business development and planning.
Previously, he served as director of finance and then as vice
president/general manager of Lehigh Valley Health Network – Health
Services Area and as vice president of home health and network
development for Sacred Heart Healthcare System. McGovern and
Dunleavy were selected from a field of more than 100 candidates
from across the United States and Canada. The search committees
for both positions included a cross section of faculty and staff who
made recommendations to the president.

As the College’s Monroe Campus
in Tannersville continued to see rapid
enrollment growth, an assessment team from
the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education commended the College’s commitment to increase the number of full-time
faculty assigned to the Monroe Campus.
Partnership programs continued with Monroe County
Technical Institute and the regional high schools, with a
particular emphasis on recruiting students for technology
careers in demand by Monroe County employers including
Aventis Pasteur and the Tobyhanna Army Depot.
Dr. Matthew Connell, Monroe dean,
identified the year’s focus for
Monroe Campus in four areas:
Integrating assessment
into the classroom.
l Strengthening
relationships between
the academic staff and
student affairs.
l Better managing the
campus and facility usage to
achieve a balance between the
academic responsibilities and
social needs of students.
l Completing and analyzing a
Monroe Campus Climate Survey and
developing action steps based upon the
data from the survey.
A project to determine the effectiveness of student
learning across the curriculum marked the year. Faculty
participated in assessment projects, evaluating course
learning outcomes and classroom assessment techniques.
The project included a text-selection process focusing on
the link between a text and course outcomes; individual
student conferences to better track learning gains; group
projects with more clearly defined group and individual
outcomes; revised testing processes that engage students
for more effective studying, with the ultimate aim of
enhancing learning. l

NCC’s new Pike
County Center in
Shohola, north of
Milford.
servingnorthandsouth
It was a year when NCC’s commitment
to expanding access wherever possible
showed results in Pike County and on
Bethlehem’s Southside.
After more than a year of stops and starts in negotiations to purchase property on the former Bethlehem Steel
site, the deal became real in September with the purchase
of a building from the Da Vinci Discovery Center of Science
and Technology. It was hailed as securing needed facilities
for both organizations’ commitment to educational excellence in the region.
Ninety minutes away to the north, the College opened a
new center in Shohola, serving the residents of Pike County.
Northampton has been offering adult literacy programs
and continuing education classes in nearby Milford for
several years and recently added degree programs in early
childhood education and criminal justice, as well as courses
leading to a specialized diploma in real estate. The move to
a larger facility enables the College to expand the selection
left-photos by philip stein/right-photo by thomas duncan
of classes for adults and to provide more programming for
elementary and secondary school students.
Northampton’s Southside Bethlehem center is expected
to become a higher education magnet for residents, giving
them greater access to College services. It also promises
to become a destination for students from outside the
neighborhood who will be drawn to cultural activities, work
force training and programs to be developed in partnership
with existing Southside organizations.
“Our goal,” according to the dean of community
education, Paul Pierpoint, “is to enable everyone to benefit
from the tidal wave of economic development that is going
on in South Bethlehem.”
To the north, the surroundings look different, but
the goal is similar. John Drake, director of the new Pike
County Center, points back to the College’s commitment to
accessibility. There are no other higher education services
available to residents of rapidly growing Pike County. A
growing number of both credit and non-credit offerings
at Northampton’s Pike County Center are seeing strong
demand from the start, and plans are underway to provide
even more in the coming year. l

martin luther king
doo-wop
The life and work of civil rights leader
Martin Luther King Jr. inspired a series
of events at the College in January.
“Following the Footsteps of the Dream,”
a multimedia presentation with dance,
music, dramatic readings and more,
united the campus and community,
both in participation and attendance. A
presentation of “Echoes of the Dream,”
an award-winning video produced by
NCC Professor Mario Acerra, showed
the events of the early ‘60s through the
eyes of Lehigh Valley residents. And
theatre students presented the play
“For Colored Girls Who Have Considered
Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” a
mix of poetry, movement and feminism.
The College’s annual Doo-Wop Live concert gave respite from the
Lehigh Valley’s mid-winter doldrums in February. Featuring the
legendary Paragons and the Blue Notes, this popular event
brought back the harmonious sounds of the ‘40s and ‘50s to a
sell-out crowd. Ronnie I, founder and president of the United in
Group Harmony Association (UGHA), hosted the event, which also
featured Things to Come, Connie & the Decoys, and the Sheps.

gambian kora
Alhaji Papa Susso, a musician and
oral historian from The Gambia,
West Africa, brought his kora to
campus in January for a lively and
informative demonstration. The
kora, a 21-stringed harp-lute, is
traditionally played by Mandinka
Jalolu (Griot), itinerant musicians,
who were often attached to royal
courts. Papa Susso, who has been
playing the kora since he was
5 years old and is considered a
master player, comes from a long
line of oral historians within the
Mandinka people.

The College’s commitment to diversity was singled out for praise by the accreditation
team. Northampton’s “concern for diversity and efforts to create a climate of respect” were
acknowledged in the final report. NCC’s mission statement says the College strives to help students not only to
understand but to value diversity. The statement of institutional values also speaks about diversity, noting that “each of us
contributes in a unique way to the accomplishment of our mission.” In an age of political correctness, such assertions are
expected in official documents, but how many colleges have alma maters that sing diversity’s praises? Penned in 1987, NCC’s
alma mater proclaims: “We take strength in our community. We take pride in our diversity. And the hopes we share, and the
dreams we dare, our unity.” Composer Mario Acerra, a long-time member of the faculty, believes the lyrics reflect “the heart
of the institution — who we are.”
NCC’s president, Dr. Arthur Scott, puts it a different way.

The answer, according to Dr. Scott, is simple. “You

want to do better. And you always can.” Rankin praises
staff from many different backgrounds,
NCC for taking such a stance. “Typically, colleges and
NCC might be the envy of other
universities begin talking about diversity issues in
response to tensions or to outright conflicts. To do so
in the absence of a problem demanding immediate
action is unusual and exemplary.”
More than 750 students, faculty and staff
filled out the survey administered by Rankin &
Associates last spring. In general, respondents
reported positive experiences at Northampton.
Very few people (less than 2 percent) said they
had been present at a campus event where the
illustration by leslie loomis/photo by hub willson
climate was not welcoming. Close to 90 percent said they
rarely or never heard NCC employees make insensitive or
disparaging remarks. The majority felt the classroom and
the workplace were welcoming for people from underrepresented groups and that the campus was accessible to people
with disabilities. Many (84 percent) reported taking advantage of the opportunity to get to know people from
different cultures or groups.
The survey confirmed, however,
that NCC is not exempt from the
challenges that face society as a
whole. More gay respondents
(18 percent) and people of
color (17 percent) reported
harassment (primarily in the
form of being the subject of
derogatory remarks or being
ignored) than heterosexuals
or Caucasians. Students and
employees who are in the
majority in terms of race or
sexual orientation also had a more
favorable view of how welcoming
the College is to underrepresented
groups and of how inclusive the curriculum
is than did individuals considered to be from
minority groups. And although most respondents gave the
College high marks for safety, some respondents reported
feeling uneasy at times due to their gender (14 percent), race
or ethnicity (9 percent), or sexual orientation/gender identity (7 percent).

are now focusing on four different
areas: institutional culture and values;
ways of improving recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty and staff; the challenges of helping students who are struggling
with “difference” succeed and persist to graduation; and
issues specific to the Monroe campus. Their work will enable
the Diversity Task Force to develop a five-year plan that
will include measurable objectives and specific action steps
designed to make NCC a model for other colleges — and for a
society still searching for a way to achieve the goal of equal
opportunity for all. l

Northampton’s technical training programs continue to grow
and expand to meet the needs of the local community and an
even greater geographic region. New training courses were
developed this year in high performance, quality improvement
and standards, and strategic planning. Courses covering the International Builders Code and International Construction Code were given for a wide range of
building professionals. The College’s maintenance-related diploma programs continue to
be the education of choice for individuals preparing for high-demand, rewarding careers.
CBI creates tailored
training programs for
business clients.
Contracted technical training was
provided to 43 different organizations
over a large geographic area spanning
from Harrisburg to Elizabeth, N.J. NCC’s
Industrial Maintenance Institute delivered
training in a wide range of skills including
electrical, mechanical and welding.
In addition to training, NCC also works
to interest school-age children in technology,
trades and science, cultivating the future
work force. Funded primarily through
grants from the Center for Optical Technologies at Lehigh University and the Nanofabrication Manufacturing Partnership at Penn
State, Northampton made dozens of technology and science presentations at regional
schools. A new explorers program in trades
and technology was launched this year, and
NCC staff helped organize summer camps
in optics and nanotechnology, and launched
the new SMART Girls event involving nearly
200 fifth- and sixth-grade girls in activities
involving technology and science.
Individual clients also benefited
from the “anytime, anywhere” access to
online training programs offered through
the Colleges ACT Center. The year saw an
increase in individual learners pursuing
online training classes through “ed2go.”
Subject areas that were of most interest
included: grant writing, business administration, web design, networking, test prep,
nonprofit management, medical terminology, and speed Spanish.

Over the past year, 19,000 people participated in classes and training sessions offered
through the College’s Community Education division. More than 1,200 non-credit classes
enrolling 6,600 students were run on campus. Some highlights include:
Classes were offered at Saucon Valley High School with
over 140 enrollments and at Pocono Mountain West High
School with over 175 enrollments. And the College began
offering non-credit and credit classes at its new Pike County

l Continuing education programs for primary and secondary
school teachers remained popular.
l The third annual Martin Guitar Design Workshop brought
15 participants from around the United States and Canada.
l A Nonprofit Management Leadership series and a weekend
with Harry Rinker and his Antiques Appraisal Clinics were
two new successes to the department this year.
l Horizons for Youth offered 400 classes during the school
year, with over 2,234 enrollments, including expanded
offerings in Monroe and Pike counties. On main campus, the
Lehigh Valley Huaxia Chinese School continues to partner
with Horizons for Youth and has enrolled over 170 students
in language and culture classes this year.
l The annual fall and spring Scholastic Youth Chess
Championship spun off a Chess Academy Club, giving
students an opportunity to play tournament style
and develop their game skills. A fencing program
was successfully developed and offered in
Monroe County.
l In preparation for the new SAT test that
was launched in March, the department
updated course materials and resources,
l
standardized the text book, and created a combo SAT Math
and Verbal Prep — 2005 course that was offered late fall and
early spring to prepare students for the new test.
The Horizons for Youth summer program continues
to be very successful, having reached an all-time high for
enrollment on both campuses, with over 600 classes offered.
On the main campus, 2,180 school-age youth participated
in academic and enrichment programming during an 11week program over the summer. On average, 135 students
participated weekly in the wrap-around camp program.
In Monroe County, 431 students participated in summer
programming held for the third year at Monroe Career and
Technical Institute, assisted by a partnership with Sanofi
(Aventis) Pasteur. Sanofi provides bus transportation to and
from its site for students enrolled in Horizons for Youth.
NCC’s Center for Adult Literacy & Basic Workforce
Development offered 835 sessions showing a 20 percent
increase in registration.
Literacy instruction in the areas of English as a Second
Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), GED, family
literacy, tutor training, literacy life skills, computer
literacy, job readiness/job preparation, and
vocational training were offered in many
locations throughout Northampton, Monroe,
Pike and Wayne counties. Nearly a third of
the Center’s students come from Monroe,
Pike and Wayne counties. l

It was a rebuilding year for several
NCC sports teams. After coming off
winning seasons in recent years,
the men’s and women’s basketball
teams did not make it to the
finals this year. Other teams
finished their seasons with
respectable records.
However, as the year came to
a close, the Lady Spartans softball
team washed away any lingering
disappointment the NCC fans may
have felt. The women’s softball
team became the only college
softball team in the country to
finish without a loss – a perfect
40-0 record. Their season ended
as decisively as it had begun. In
Myrtle Beach, the Lady Spartans
became the first team in 25
years to finish the tournament
undefeated. Their eight-game
sweep included a victory over
last year’s state champs
from New York.
“They are probably the
best team I’ve ever seen,” Scott
Ensworth told a sportswriter
from The Express Times. Ensworth
coaches a team from Community
College of Beaver that has
owned the Western Pennsylvania
Collegiate Conference title
for many years.

This past December, I was elected chairman of the Northampton
Community College Foundation board. Chairing a college board is
both an honor and a challenge. If you happen to follow a chairman
of the caliber of our immediate past chairman, Paul Mack, it can
also be particularly daunting. Through his passionate leadership and his commitment to making both the College and the Foundation better, Paul has left big shoes
to fill. Paul, on behalf of the community, the College and the foundation board, I would
like to take this opportunity to publicly thank you for your hard work, your vision and
your dedication to the cause of making Northampton Community College a better
institution by leading the charge to seek the funds necessary to do so.
As I write this, a special task force of the Foundation, that for the past four years
has been engaged in raising funds for a $13.5 million comprehensive campaign, is
busy trying to raise the last $1 million needed to meet the goal. Sept. 30 is the official
deadline for what has been a labor of love for a dedicated group of community leaders
under the direction of Paul and NCC alumnus David Shaffer. When we started this task,
$13.5 million seemed like a daunting figure. In fact, the results of our feasibility study indicated that we could probably raise significantly less than that amount. But the volunteer
leadership was convinced that the community would respond to the priorities in this campaign:
student scholarships, land in Monroe, a student activity center, a student leadership program, a
technology fund and, finally, a new center on the Southside of Bethlehem. And respond the community did.
As you read this report, you’ll see names you recognize and some you probably do not. It is
an impressive list of hundreds of members from the Lehigh Valley who believe in the mission
of Northampton Community College and who were willing to support it with their gifts. For
your generosity and continued belief in what we do, we thank you. Northampton is a special
place. I’m reminded of that fact every time I listen to a student scholarship recipient tell his
or her story. Inevitably, I get choked up realizing the impact that private dollars can make on
someone’s life. Those dollars come from you. On behalf of the students who receive them and
of this foundation board, I thank you.
Sincerely,
John Eureyecko
Northampton Community College Foundation
Board Chairman

One equation you’re not
likely to find on an NCC
math exam is this: one
bum knee + a lot of time on
your hands = ____? For Sharon
Litvin, ’84, the answer was as easy as
slipping on a pair of earrings. Make
that 500 pairs of earrings. The answer
is Earrings • Nothing But, Litvin’s hot
new business that’s decorating the lobes of the Lehigh Valley and beyond.
Accessorizing ears with dazzling dangles was not Litvin’s first career choice
though. Until her knee forced her into retirement, Litvin worked at NCC for 10 years as
a faculty member teaching adult education, as an administrator managing the College’s
Bethlehem Center, and as a career services specialist. Along with her associate’s degree
from Northampton, Litvin holds a bachelor’s degree in English and education, as well as
a master’s degree in reading and education. “The College is just a wonderful, wonderful
place,” she says of NCC, the school that gave her her first experience with higher education.
As a certified reading specialist, Litvin gives back to the community, volunteering each
Thursday to work with adults in the English as a second language program at the Easton
Public Library.
Litvin’s success at turning pain to profit began as a couch-bound patient-in-waiting.
After taking her ailing knee through the rigors of physical therapy, an orthoscopic surgery,
and another go-around with pain therapy shots, the knee finally deteriorated to the point
where she could barely stand, let alone walk. Finally, the pain was traced to a hole in Litvin’s
femur. “A necrosis,” she says, “a dead part in the bone, a big hole right on the end of it.” That
gruesome news was a prescription for a total knee replacement that eventually led to the
Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, part of Columbia University. But to get on her
surgeon’s calendar was a three-month wait. It was an interlude she put to good use.
“I had been making earrings as a hobby for about six years, just nice things to give as

gifts,” Litvin says. “So, when this happened, I just stayed on the couch, ordered all my beads,
silver and materials over the Internet, and sat making earrings all day long.” As the days
added up, so did Litvin’s inventory. By the time she had her new knee in place and healed to
the point of mobility, she was, well, up to her ears in earrings. A person can only give so many
gifts, and with over 500 pairs sparkling up her house, something had to give.
Necessity, the mother of invention, can also birth a new business. Earrings • Nothing
But was about to be born. It was the skills she used to market students to prospective
employers in her role as career services specialist that helped her gear up for presentations
to store owners. Those skills and, of course, a solid product. Together, they landed her four
accounts in short order.
Her consignment arrangements, advertising and word-of-mouth have brought clients
from across the Lehigh Valley. She has also custom-made jewelry for people as far away as
Montana, for a man who wanted earrings
made from African Kazuri beads; and
necessity the mother of
from Maryland, for a woman who “just
had to have a coral necklace she saw”
invention can also birth
in one of Litvin’s ads when she was
staying at the Lafayette Inn. Soon she
a new business
will go global. “I have a friend of one of
our former students [from NCC] who is
designing a Web site for me,” she says. “And now I’m also making bracelets, necklaces, hair
sticks, even sterling bookmarks and wine charms. Pretty much anything to do with beads.
It’s part of me, and I feel wonderful when people find something attractive that I created.”
But Litvin isn’t one to stand — or even sit — still. It is the act of creating that is
most important to her, and she is constantly seeking ways to improve on that. “I took
a class in glass blowing at Dragonfly Studio in Coopersburg,” she says. “I learned how
to use the torch and turn the glass and layer in the colors. Now I know how to make my
own glass beads.” She is also looking for a class in soldering to expand her creative
universe in making custom silver jewelry. “My studio is too small to use torches and
things though,” she continues, “but if I become successful enough, I’ll find a place
where I can do this other stuff.” That shouldn’t be too long in coming. Litvin seems to
have found a working formula for success: the love of her creations, plus the life-long
desire to learn new ways to create. l

For Milton “Scottie” Wood, it all started with a single restaurant.
“My dad started in the business when he opened a restaurant on
North Seventh Street in Allentown in 1940,” said Bob Wood. That
one restaurant soon became four. When Scottie Wood heard that Muhlenberg
College was looking at options for its food service program, Wood Dining Services (and the
Wood Company) was born. “My dad brought his attitude as a restauranteur
to the college,” said Wood. “He was one of the first to treat the college
student as a customer.” The Wood Company built on that early
success and was soon providing dining services to a wide spectrum
of local hospitals, schools and businesses.
Bob Wood has had a long and successful association with the
Wood Company, dating back to his first assignment as a chef at
Allentown College (now DeSales University) in Center Valley
in 1967. But the food business isn’t just about food. “Good
quality is important, but this is a relationship business,”
Wood notes. “Taking time to get to know the customer
and their ideas is critical. Our personnel are often seen as
more a part of the client’s staff than ours. We encourage
that sort of partnership.” In April of 2001, Wood Dining
Services became part of the Sodexho Alliance. What
brought the two together? “Sodexho was impressed with
our culture,” Wood said, “and hoped, through the alliance, to
ingrain the Wood Dining Services culture into Sodexho.”
Bob Wood brings that same enthusiasm for relationship
building to his role on Northampton Community College’s foundation board, where he has
served for over a decade. Impressed by the College’s leadership role in the TQM movement
(Total Quality Management) that was popular in the ’90s, Wood has always seen NCC as an
“important place...in touch with the needs of industry and the community.” Over the years,
the Wood Company has provided extensive and generous support to the College, especially
in the upkeep and evolution of the Wood Dining Room in College Center.
Not surprisingly, Bob Wood is very interested in the College’s culinary art’s program.

He started thinking about what he might do to enhance it, which lead to the creation
of the Chef-in-Residence program, underwritten through an endowment created by the
Wood Company. Twice annually, the Chef-in-Residence program brings a prominent
chef, recruited by Wood, to campus for two days. The agenda includes classes taught by
the chef, public interaction and menu planning. The event culminates in a full dinner
for 60 guests on the second night, with the featured chef’s signature dish prepared by
Northampton’s culinary students under his or her direction. “My hope is that students
are inspired in a way that doesn’t happen in the classroom,” explains Wood. “In my
experience, successful chefs have that ‘something’ that’s hard to define, but it’s what
helps make them successful. I think it is helpful to expose students to successful chefs
from all aspects of the profession.”
Healthier lifestyles and busy schedules make good planning another integral part of
success in the food industry. “The average college student eats five meals a day, starting
about 11 a.m.,” Wood said. “But while they may be concerned about healthy food, they
aren’t willing to sacrifice taste. Recognizing and adjusting to this and other trends is
important. We consider many factors in deciding how and where to offer our services
— where customers live, campus schedules, the number of commuters. The industry has
become more retail-oriented, and flexibility is the key; even down to providing the sort
of atmosphere that makes customers want to hang out in the dining area.”
Wood is very active in our community. But he is modest about his volunteer roles.
“I recognize that my success in life is not all my doing,” he said. “It was created by
other people, and I’ve accepted the role of helping others succeed in their lives.” Once
again, everything comes down to relationships. “I’ve made friends at local colleges
and businesses that I interact with on a daily basis; which is why I always say that I
get a lot out of the volunteer work that I do in the community.”
Ever the idea man, Wood could not resist adding just one more thought. “I
think we should consider adding a course to the College catalog, one that speaks to
citizenship and volunteerism, and is required of everyone. We need to encourage
people in the community to accept responsibility to make a difference, instead of
waiting for someone else to make a difference. One of the biggest challenges facing
local communities is finding a way to make cultures inclusive, and the very best way
to achieve that is through education.” l

our responsibility
to you
The foundation has the
responsibility to be accountable
to our constituencies: to our board
of directors, who serve without
remuneration; to Northampton
Community College and its
leadership, faculty, staff and students;
to donors; to our volunteers; and to
our own staff.
One of the ways in which we do
so is to make accessible materials
that we believe should be available
to those who care about the mission
and success of the Northampton
Community College Foundation.
We make the following items
available:
l Financial audit conducted by our
external auditor.
l An annual report of giving and
activities, including an honor roll
of donors.
l Our policies on disbursement of
gift funds.
l Investment policies and
expenditure guidelines.
l Our action plan establishing
priorities.
You may obtain these items by
writing or calling:
Office of the Executive Director
Northampton Community
College Foundation
3835 Green Pond Road
Bethlehem, PA 18020-7599
610/861-5451
In spite of our best efforts to avoid them, mistakes occur. We apologize if we have inadvertently omitted or incorrectly listed your name.
If you find any errors, please call them to our attention at 610-861-5461.

a donor bill of rights
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition
of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that
philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors
and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations
and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
I. To be informed of the organization’s
mission, of the way the organization
intends to use the donated resources,
and of its capacity to use the
donations effectively for their
intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the identity of
those serving on the organization’s
governing board, and to expect the
board to exercise prudent judgment in
its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the
organization’s most recent financial
statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be
used for the purposes for which they
were given.
V. To receive appropriate
acknowledgement and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information
about their donation is handled with
respect and with confidentiality to the
extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships
with individuals representing
organizations of interest to the donor
will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those
seeking donations are volunteers,
employees of the organization or
hired solicitors.
IX: To have the opportunity for their
names to be deleted from mailing
lists that an organization may
intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions
when making a donation and
to receive prompt, truthful and
forthright answers.
