A MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIRPERSON
The student body at Northwest State Community College is
an eclectic mix of individuals with varying ages, experiences,
aspirations and responsibilities. This is the hallmark of any
community college, and it’s what makes our classrooms uniquely
structured so that students inevitably learn a few life skills in
addition to what is taught from the pages of their textbooks.
We feel so strongly about maintaining this learning environment,
that NSCC has made it our mission to provide access to excellent
and affordable education, training and services that will improve
the lives of individuals and strengthen communities.
Although we can provide the academic support to help students
find success in the classroom, the biggest hurdle that many
students struggle with is finding the financial support to complete
their education. Over half of our student body receives some
form of financial aid, and there are many others in desperate
need. This is where the NSCC Foundation steps in.
The Foundation is committed to raising money that will
fund scholarships and provide opportunities for students to
accomplish their dream of earning a college degree. Last year
alone, the Foundation awarded $253,400 in scholarships to 140
students. These may sound like large numbers, but in reality, we
were able to fulfill the need of only a small fraction of students.
A mere 25 percent of the students who applied were awarded
scholarships. The Foundation was unable to assist the
remaining 75 percent. This was not because they were ineligible
or undeserving; there simply were not enough scholarship
dollars to fill the need.
The Foundation Board is made up of volunteers who are
passionate about creating opportunities for students in need,
but we cannot do this without your support. As you look around
at your family, your coworkers and your fellow community
members, take a moment to consider the impact an education
can have or has had on improving their future. Approximately
85 percent of NSCC graduates continue to live, work and raise
their families in northwest Ohio. An investment in the NSCC
Foundation is an investment in your community!
Will you be a part of making the difference?

Minerva Rivas:
PAY I T
FORWARD
In junior high, Minerva Rivas did not picture herself as
a college student. As a matter of fact, she couldn’t even
envision herself as a high school student. That is why,
when her family moved during her eighth grade year, she
dropped out of school and vowed never to look back.
It wasn’t until she was in her early thirties when her
husband got sick that she began having second thoughts
about her decision. “My husband had a lot of heart
problems,” Minerva recalled. “He worked in a factory
at the time, and I was worried about how we would
support our family if he couldn’t work.” Determined to
plan for the future of her five children, Minerva completed
her GED and immediately enrolled in classes at
Northwest Technical College (Northwest State
Community College today).
“My parents never wanted me to drop out of school, and
they were very proud of the fact that I was going back
to earn a college degree,” said Minerva. “They were so
supportive. They helped take care of the kids while I was
in class and never once said ‘I told you so’.”
It was because Minerva had such a strong support
system that she was able to complete her secretarial
degree in 1986. Along with her family, Minerva credits her
instructors for helping her find success in the classroom.
“I had never touched a computer before my first class,
and because I dropped out of high school, I had never
taken an algebra class either,” said Minerva. “I had so
many instructors who were telling me ‘you can do this’
that I eventually started to believe them.”
Not only did Minerva earn her degree, but she also
earned a position as a library assistant at the College.
Today, Minerva is still working in the NSCC library
where she has become mentor, friend and counselor
to thousands of students, and she wouldn’t have it any
other way. “I worked as a student worker in the library
and loved the work and the environment. Almost 30 years
later, I still love what I do.”
Never forgetting the support she received as a student
at Northwest State, Minerva is committed to paying it
forward. “Sometimes it is heartbreaking when students
come to us in tears and just need a shoulder to lean on,”
said Minerva. “I take the time to share my story with them
and tell them that if I could do it, so can they.”
Along with providing a shoulder to lean on, Minerva is
also passionate about supporting the NSCC Foundation.
“I have seen first-hand the impact that the Foundation
scholarships have on our students,” Minerva explained.
“Not only does it help them financially, but it gives them
such a boost in confidence. They see that the College
believes in them, and that drives them to keep moving
forward toward graduation.”
Last year, 76 percent of faculty and staff at NSCC
donated to scholarships through the NSCC Foundation.
Just like Minerva they see firsthand the impact a
scholarship can make and believe in the life changing
value of a Northwest State Community College education.
PRESIDENTIAL & HONORS
SCHOLARSHIP
Although the words higher education and student debt seem to
go hand-in-hand these days, Northwest State Community College
strives to offer students quality education and training while
minimizing their out of pocket expense. Last year alone, the NSCC
Foundation awarded over $253,000 in scholarships. Although this
helped 140 students, Robbin Wilcox, director of development,
says that amount was only a drop in the bucket. “We have an
overwhelming number of students in need of financial assistance,”
said Robbin. “These are students who are determined to better their
lives through education, and the Foundation wants to help ensure
that their hard work and perseverance pay off.”
In an effort to expand the scholarship options available to incoming
students, the Foundation has committed to providing additional
funding for the College’s Presidential and Honors Scholarship
program. These scholarships are earmarked for graduating high
school seniors who plan on attending Northwest State. Over
the years, this scholarship program has supported hundreds of
dedicated students as they earn their degrees and go on to begin
successful careers. In 2014, with the support of the Foundation,
the program will be expanded to offer 14 full-tuition and 50
half-tuition scholarships.
Each scholarship is renewable for a total of four semesters and
allows the recipient to earn an associate degree with little or no
tuition costs. “An important goal for Northwest State is that we
continue to offer an affordable, quality education that will give
students the skills they need to begin their career immediately or
transfer into a bachelor’s degree program,” explained Robbin.
This is the case for Devin Shannon, 2013 graduate of Archbold
High School. Devin earned the Presidential Scholarship and is
pursuing a registered nursing degree at Northwest State. Although
Devin visited many colleges, he said cost was a big factor in his
decision to attend NSCC. With the help of his scholarship, he plans
to earn his nursing degree and graduate debt free. That is not the
end of his educational goals, however. Devin plans to get a job
as a nurse after graduating, and eventually wants to further his
education and become a Certified Nurse Anesthetist. When asked
about his NSCC experience, Devin shared, “I like the small classes
and the fact that we were able to get into the clinical sites for some
hands-on experience during my first semester. A lot of my friends
didn’t understand why I stayed close to home, but this place
is awesome.”
The Presidential and Honors Scholarships have helped many
students get a head start on their career goals over the years. In
1987, Lori Miller received her accounting degree from NSCC as
a Presidential Scholar. Today, she serves as a controller for Miller
Bros. Construction, and she credits NSCC for giving her the strong
background she needed for success in the workplace.
After graduating debt-free with her associate degree, Lori had the
experience and the skills she needed to earn a position with a
local construction firm. “I felt that NSCC kept students abreast of
the latest software used in the business world,” said Lori. “During
the interview process it was my accounting degree, along with my
knowledge of essential software programs, that got me the job and
gave me the foundation I needed to be successful in my career.”
The mission of the NSCC Foundation is to enhance, expand and
sustain Northwest State Community College so that it can continue
to fulfill its mission of creating opportunities for transformational
learning. The expansion of the Presidential and Honors Scholarship
program is just one of the ways the Foundation is working to
achieve this mission.
GREEN CARPET EVENT RAISES
$50,000
FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
It was an evening of laughter, food and fun for nearly
200 guests who enjoyed the annual Green Carpet
Event hosted by the Northwest State Community
College Foundation. In addition to recognizing the 2013
Making a Difference Award recipients, guests enjoyed
wonderful food and the rhythmic sights and sounds of
the Toledo School for the Arts Afro-Caribbean Dance
and Drum Ensemble. With the encouragement of
master of ceremonies, Rick Small, there was some
friendly competition during the silent auction as well.
The event raised a record-breaking $50,000, which will
be used for student scholarships.
MAKING A
difference
During the annual Green Carpet Event, the Northwest State Community
College Foundation recognized the 2013 Making a Difference Award
recipients. This award, established in 2010, honors outstanding
community partners in the categories of organization, business and
individual. This year's recipients included: Fellowship of Christian
Athletes (FCA), Chief Supermarket and Pamela Hayman-Weaner, J.D.
These recipients have made significant contributions to the five-county
area through employment, service, leadership and more, said Robbin
Wilcox, NSCC director of development. The Making a Difference Award
reaches beyond Northwest State itself and honors these community
partners who have made a difference in the communities that Northwest
State serves.
Northwest Ohio Fellowship of Christian Athletes
Buckeye Border FCA is part of the Northwest Ohio Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Its ministry
focuses on seven counties – five in northwest Ohio: Fulton, Henry, Defiance, Paulding and Williams,
as well as two counties in Michigan: Lenawee and Hillsdale. With a small board of directors supported
by hundreds of volunteers, Buckeye Boarder FCA challenges local coaches and athletes to use the
powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Members of FCA are encouraged
to put their faith in action through sportsmanship, service and personal effort both on and off the field.
FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in the world, and its focus is not to be victorious on the
scoreboard, but to develop leaders who will make an impact in their school and community.
Chief Supermarket
Chief Supermarket's first store opened its doors in 1951 in Defiance, Ohio. Within the first four and
a half hours, 8,200 people came out to celebrate the grand opening. The supermarket’s success
continued to grow, and has expanded to include 13 locations across northwest and west central
Ohio. When the first store opened, its founders made a commitment that Chief Supermarket would
be a community leader; standing for honesty, integrity and fairness. Sixty-one years later, the
supermarket chain carries on that mission with a commitment to strengthening the communities
it serves. In addition to donating to hundreds of local projects, Chief annually supports seven
organizations in company-wide campaigns: American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Boy Scouts
of America, West Ohio Food Bank Check Out for Hunger, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,
Neighbors in Need, Christmas for Kids and Toys for Tots.
Pamela Hayman-Weaner
Pamela Hayman-Weaner has touched the lives of countless people through her work at Legal Aid of Western Ohio,
Inc. (LAWO) and the Family Justice Centers of Northwest Ohio. In 1993, Pam was the driving force behind the
formation of the Defiance County Domestic Violence Taskforce. In addition to improving criminal justice response
to domestic violence victims, Pam, LAWO and the taskforce led the effort in creating the Family Justice Center
of Northwest Ohio. The Family Justice Center provides immediate care and help for victims of domestic violence
in six local counties. Pam’s efforts with the Justice Center resulted in not only a state-wide initiative, but also a
national model for communities to provide comprehensive services to victims and their families. As part of her work
for LAWO, Pam empowers others to help victims of domestic violence, the poor and the abused through training
and instruction to law enforcement, social workers, healthcare professionals, attorneys and other advocates.
THE FUTURE OF
ENGINEERING
When Tommy Geer started his first
college class, he was less than excited
about the idea. “That first class was
the summer after I graduated from
high school, and I wasn’t prepared or
motivated,” Tommy recalled. “I think I
just needed time to grow up a bit.”
It did not take long for Tommy to “grow
up” and become more invested in his
education. As soon as he did, however,
his instructors took notice. “The first
time I had Tommy in class, I noticed
him because he was the student who
came in late and slouched in the back
row of the classroom,” said Dave
Mohring, engineering technologies
faculty member. “I wasn’t sure if I
would see him again, but when I had
him in class the next semester, I was
surprised to see a completely different
student. He sat in the front row and
actively participated in discussions and
projects.”
It was because of that change that
Tommy’s instructors encouraged him
to attend a presentation by General
Motors. The company was looking
to hire interns from the engineering
technology division and wanted to share
recent projects that their engineers
were working on. “By the end of the
presentation, I was completely lost in
all the information they gave us, but I
was hooked,” said Tommy. “I applied
for the position and less than a week
later I had an interview and got the job.”
For the next 17 months, Tommy worked
on 3-D modeling, designing new tools
and updating products manufactured at
the General Motors plant in Defiance.
“Some of the other interns moved
around departments and worked on
different engineering projects, but I
really liked the work I was doing and
the managers I was working with, so I
stayed in the same department.”
In the end, Tommy not only gained realworld experience in the engineering
field, but he was also offered a full-time
position with General Motors before he
even completed his associate degree.
The only requirement of the position
was that Tommy continue his education
and earn a bachelor’s degree. “It is a
lot of work,“ said Tommy, “but General
Motors is paying my tuition and I love
my job!”
As luck would have it, Tommy did not
have to look far to find a bachelor’s
program that would accommodate
his work schedule. Miami University
offers a Bachelor of Applied Science
in Electro-Mechanical Engineering
Technology right on Northwest State’s
campus in Archbold.
“The major selling point for this
program is that students can take
almost ¾ of their bachelor’s degree
through Northwest State,” said Dan
Burklo, dean of the Math, Science and
Engineering Technologies Division at
NSCC. “They pay our low tuition rate
for those classes, which saves them a
significant amount of money.”
According to Burklo, by the time
Northwest State students enter the
final courses offered through Miami,
they routinely score near the top of the
class. “The Miami bachelor’s program
is offered synchronously through
several other colleges, and Northwest
State students rank in the top two.”
This is no surprise considering faculty
members in the Math, Science &
Engineering Technologies Division are
constantly striving to stay on the cuttingedge of industry training. Burklo, for
example, currently chairs a state-wide
committee made up of the deans and
directors of engineering from colleges
across Ohio. “This position gives
Northwest State a leadership role in
setting and maintaining standards for
the education of future engineers,”
said Burklo. “We have a heightened
awareness of industry standards, and
that translates into our curriculum.
This allows us to set the bar high for
these programs, and provide northwest
Ohio with a highly trained, qualified
workforce.”

On August 22, 2013, the NSCC Foundation held a formal
DEDICATION CEREMONY
for the new Nursing Lab.
The ceremony recognized the generous donors who helped
make the state-of-the-art lab possible. With their generous
support, nursing students now have access to training
equipment that will help make them the most well-prepared,
qualified nursing graduates in northwest Ohio.
Donors recognized at the event included: Parkview
Physicians Group, Henry County Hospital, Fulton County
Health Center, Joe & Cindy Krueger (in memory of Jean
Cox), Tom & Bonnie Stuckey, Farmers & Merchants State
Bank, Employees & Friends of NSCC. The David Shaffer
family and Norman Zeiter family were recognized as leaders
of the campaign during the opening of the building in 2011.
The Allied Health & Public Services Building at Northwest
State Community College officially opened in July of 2011.
