I
t has been a tremendous year for
the Foundation, which provided
$767,682 in scholarships to 1,027
students this last fiscal year. Among the
year’s many highlights were unexpected
commendations from the outside evaluators who assessed the College for its sixyear accreditation review.
The foundation received a commendation from the Acrediting team for its
leadership, performance, and contribution
to the long-term financial sustainability
of the community and the mission of the
college, describing us as “critical partners
in working passionately on behalf of the
College.”
What we can be most proud of is the
broad and growing base of donors, both
new and sustaining, who continue to
support the higher education of students
in our community. In the last fiscal year,
we raised $2,635,640; 4,419 people gave
to the Foundation; and our endowment
grew to $23 million. These numbers
translate to the realization of our students’
educational goals and the strengthening
of
our community as a whole.

(CAP) graduate Evelyn Martinez,
who transferred to UC Los
Angeles (UCLA) this year, has wanted
to be a lawyer since she was a little girl
struggling to learn English in the fourth
grade. Two years later, she was invited to
join CAP, a program that provides mentorship and academic activities each year
to underserved student populations.
a deeply personal vision to prepare the
next generation of students.
“If it wasn’t for CAP and the Honors Program at Cabrillo, UCLA would seem
so unattainable.”
Samper, Cabrillo’s largest individual
donor, has donated more than $2 million
since 2007. This year, “her” students, whom
she supported since sixth grade, graduated from high school.
Liz Dominguez, CAP counselor/coordinator, who has served as the academic
coach and personal cheerleader for hundreds of students over the years, says gifts
from Samper, the Borina Foundation and
other private donors translate to the success of students like Martinez, who often
work to support their families while being
full-time students.
“I think being deeply rooted in family
values and Evelyn’s desire to help to financially support her family is what fueled her
drive to do well academically,” Dominguez
says. “I have no doubt that she is going to
do terrific at UCLA and beyond.”
— Evelyn Martinez
“CAP opens your eyes to a whole different world,” says Martinez who, as a CAP
graduate, received $2,000 in scholarships
to attend Cabrillo for two years. She also
received a CAP Transfer Scholarship at the
CAP awards ceremony in March.
Since CAP began in 1991 at E.A. Hall
Middle School with 22 sixth graders, it

has expanded to include about 360 participants from 12 schools in Santa Cruz
County. High school graduation and college matriculation rates of CAP students
are 16–32 percent higher than those of
a comparable benchmark group derived
from the California Department of Education, according to self-reported CAP data.
“Education gives these CAP students a
passport for the future,” says Barbara Samper, a long time donor to CAP who holds

Lizbeth Diaz, 12, who dreams of
being a pediatrician, is an enthusiastic participant in the Cabrillo Advancement Program. It runs in the family, just
like her mother, Angelica Diaz and her
two aunts who all graduated from high
school and attended Cabrillo College after
being in CAP.
“CAP opened the doors to opportunities we would not have ever had,” says
Angelica, who works for the Live Oak
Elementary School District. Her sisters,
Mireya Flores and Monica Velasco, are a
nurse and a juvenile institutions officer.
For Lizbeth, CAP highlights so far have
been the medical and culinary classes
at the Summer Institute and a Saturday
workshop about finance and budgeting.
After hearing about opportunities in the
medical field, “I was even more into it,”
Lizbeth said.
Her mother knows it won’t be easy but
knows school will pay off. “I tell her, if you
have the passion to be a pediatrician, you
can make it work.”

atherine “Cat” Steele remembers going to a summer camp

They were much like the youngest sixth

which provides emergency stipends for
students in need.
The fund is a way to honor her parents.
Her father, Alex Saxton, was a carpenter
who later became a teacher and writer;
her mother, Trudy, was a social worker.
The annuity honors both their choices,
Steele says.
As a coordinator for outreach services
for the public library system, Steele had
the opportunity to watch students in the
CAP program make their way to college.

The couple has a strong connection
to Cabrillo. Brian taught communication
courses at the College and served as an
interim tennis coach in the 1970’s.
“We’ve really seen the programs working here and see the people involved,”
he said.
Patti Herman, who has enjoyed
Cabrillo literature courses and numerous
theater events over the years, said “It is a
small thing we can do. Cabrillo has been
a part of us.”
The Hermans say the warmth and
enthusiasm of student tutors and Lori
Chavez, Cabrillo College
Tutorials coordinator, inspired them.
“The support will result
in enhanced academic
success,” Chavez said. “We
greatly appreciate this
kind of support from our
community.”

Christine Holeman, who practices regularly with native signer and student
Garrett Nichols, says tutoring has “made
the difference between passing and be-
ing successful.” Peer tutors help students
gain confidence and grow to meet their
educational goals.
“It’s very enriching to be able to give
back,” said Brian Herman.

Tom Sourisseau
Retired biology instructor and department chair
After 34 years of teaching at Cabrillo College, a
career that included several sabbaticals to study
biology and anatomy abroad, Tom Sourisseau remembers the students fondly. He gives annually to
the College and has made a plan for giving in his will.
“I was very happy to be there. I want to contribute to the students who are so special.”
Kathy Cowan Shephard
Cabrillo English faculty
Kathy Cowan Shephard has taught in the English Department at Cabrillo College
for almost 25 years. Kathy’s husband Paul, who passed away in 2012, took night
classes at Cabrillo in the late 1980’s while working full-time to get his degree. When
he graduated, Kathy established the Paul Shephard Business Endowed Scholarship
in his honor and has included support for this scholarship in her estate plans.
“In the wake of Paul’s death, I believe that the best way to honor him is to extend the exuberance of his life by helping students. He loved Cabrillo as I love Cabrillo and I know that he would support this gift.”
Karl and Joan Mertz
Retired businessman and artist
Karl and Joan Mertz have both taken classes at Cabrillo
and studied jewelry design. They have named Cabrillo
in their giving plans.
“My family’s been here in Aptos since 1883 and I just have nothing but praise for the way Cabrillo has grown.” — Karl Mertz

$700 emergency grant through
Women’s Educational Success
helped re-entry student Jennifer
Wheeler pay rent at a time when financing

pick up again until the next semester.
“I was wandering around the campus looking for some support. I had no money and my biggest concern was rent. You can’t even think about anything else.”
started this program knowing that a little
support goes a long way,” states Baskin.
The WES endowment has now grown to
$1.3 million.
“Every year when I think of the women
who are speaking at the WES luncheon
in September and what they must feel, I
know there is nothing more powerful than
being in a room with a very large group of
women who are there to support them,”
said Michele Bassi, who co-chairs the WES
Committee with Pegi Ard. “We have never
met them, but we care about them. We all
want them to be successful.”
A record $52,000 will be allocated this
year in small grants to help students get
over a sudden financial hurdle. Donations
this year will be matched by gifts from the
Sharanam Foundation, Rachel Wedeen
and Tiffany Hammer. Additionally, this is
the third year in a row that the Peggy and
Jack Baskin Foundation has contributed
$10,000 to the WES program.
Wheeler, 58, completed a certificate in
Human Services and recently took a job
in the field of drug and alcohol recovery.
She plans to transfer to CSU-Monterey Bay
next year to study social work. “I realized
at my age it’s still possible to follow my
passion,” she says.
— Jennifer Wheeler
Jennifer was at Cabrillo training to
be a drug and alcohol counselor after she
was laid off from a collections job. WES
co-founders Peggy Downes Baskin and Rachael Spencer had students like Wheeler in
mind when they recruited 100 women in
1997 to give $100 to start the emergency
fund. For hundreds of students, small,
immediate grants like these bring peace
of mind at a time when financial stress
threatens to derail their education.
“Anyone trying to better their life
needs a little boost now and then. We

environment. It is an essential piece of
equipment for students who are studying
bacteria.”
19 Ann Smeltzer
Radiologic Technology Department Chair
Radiologic Technology Software and
Mammography Program ($5,476)
“Learning to operate the high tech
equipment and quality control and quality
assurance tools is essential to diagnosing cancer
early. This software is pretty exciting. Students
can manipulate images and understand 2-D
images from a 3-D perspective. It will make
students more competitive in the workforce.”
Victoria May
Art Photography & Art Studio Instructor
Art Photography Digital Projector ($2,000)
“It will be illuminating for students to finally see accurate color adjustments with the state-
of-the-art projector the grants helped us to
get. It will raise the level of discernment in
their own projects and better train them for
future employment in the field.”

it’s easier to
retain what you’re
learning. The

such a positive experience with a personal trainer that she decided
to switch careers. At Cabrillo she found her passion in kinesiology
and nutrition. She hopes to one day be a children’s physical therapist.

Art Studio Named in Memory
of Jim and Lynda Gentry
Enjoying class in the Jim and Lynda Gentry Art Studio
A
significant gift to the Cabrillo
Stroke and Disability Learning
Center from the Jim and Lynda
Gentry Trust means a world of difference
to the dozens of students who visit the
Center to gain confidence in their abilities
after having had a stroke.
The Gentrys both enjoyed services
at the Center. Jim Gentry was a former
commercial developer who later started a
commercial salmon fishing business with
his wife Lynda Gentry, a former teacher.
A “gregarious, generous and very dedicated student, Jim Gentry was especially
fond of the arts and ceramics activities,”
says Debora Bone, who recently retired
from her position as director of the Center.
“He was part of a core of men who were
really strong supports for each other.”
Two of his colorful landscapes are
among the student collection on the walls
at the Center and a plaque in memory of
the Gentrys hangs outside ceramics room
1127 that says: “The Jim and Lynda Gentry
Art Studio. Love Spoken Here.”
The nationally acclaimed program will
celebrate its 40 year anniversary next spring.
Crocker Gift Supports Athletic
Training Room

abrillo athletes, kinesiology and
sports medicine students are
enjoying a newly renovated
Athletic Training Room thanks to a gift
from Richard and Theresa Crocker. They
are both Cabrillo College alumni and generous donors who have a given $1,028,700 in
support to Cabrillo College over the years.
This latest gift of $10,000 provided
funding needed for the second phase of
the $59,248, two-year project that has
refurbished and more than doubled the
size of the aged sports medicine facility.
“This second phase of much-needed

Health Science and Kinesiology instructor
and athletic trainer. “This provides a better
rehabilitation environment and a better
teaching and learning environment.”
The 300 student athletes who participate in 14 sports teams throughout
the year now have an 1,120 square foot
Athletic Training Room with a hydrotherapy area, cardio rehabilitation area
and exercise rehabilitation area.
“We’re both very active and enjoy the
outdoors and we realize the value of athletic
training and sports for the youth today,” said
Richard Crocker. “We are really proud to
support the program at Cabrillo College.”

Ow, Jr.’s niece, who spoke earlier this year
at the annual American Dream Awards

Anonymous Donation
Sustains Vital
Support For
Foster Youth
T
he Foster Youth Independence
Program (FYI) has flourished
in the last two years thanks to
an anonymous donor whose support
has allowed the program to grow from
a handful of students to more than 60.
Services include peer mentorship, access
“Throughout my life I have been blessed with the friendship of many children and adults who have been part of foster care. Many of these men and women, girls and boys have left me with great admiration for their grace, courage, and kindness. Now towards the end of my life, I can in some small way help ease the way for some to fulfill their promise through Cabrillo as well as to enrich the College community with their presence.” — Foster Youth Benefactor
to educational and community services,
scholarships and emergency grants. The
donor was inspired to support Foster
Youth from personal connections.
Alexandria Colwell, a foster youth
mentor, says college would have been a
lot harder without the program. Colwell
plans to transfer to UC Santa Cruz in 2015
and eventually earn a doctorate in clinical
psychology. About her mentoring, she
says, “We know what’s going on in the
students’ lives. We’re very close.”
FYI offers a campus retreat where foster youth students can work at donated
computers, relax on a sofa and get advice
from College staff and student advisors.
“The office is a sanctuary for studying
and finding out what is going on with my
friends and what’s happening on campus,”
says engineering student Jesus Tapia.
“They are remarkable, amazing students, who diligently focus on their educational goals,” says Catherine Lachance,
FYI Program Director. “With the donor’s
generous contribution of $300,000, the
FYI students have the means to be successful and independent. In less than two
years the retention rate of FYI students
has increased to an incredible 78 percent.”
“We are so pleased about our growing educational partnership,” says Cynthia
Druley, executive director of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). “Cabrillo’s
program provides one-stop-shopping for
help with registration, information, financial support and resources for foster youth
students. Students tell us that it provides a
warm, caring place, networking and support from their peers, and an extraordinary
staff that helps them in a myriad of ways.”
