President’s
Report
Gloria Frazier
President
ERA American Realty
of NW Florida
Since its inception almost 22 years ago, the Northwest
Florida State College Foundation has enjoyed times of great
challenge as well as great opportunity, yet it seems our NWFSC
supporters always step up in extraordinary ways. Whether by
giving to support scholarships, programs and facilities or by
establishing endowed teaching chairs, NWFSC friends have
made the Foundation what it is today. Generous individuals,
families, corporations and civic groups are our greatest allies and
the Foundation would be incapable of meeting student needs
without them.
Perhaps one of the most visible functions of the Foundation
is the scholarship support made possible by benefactors who
choose to make life better for students who need financial
assistance to meet the ever-increasing costs of tuition and
books. In the past year, 306 students received funds in excess of
$369,800 for tuition assistance from scholarships administered
by the Foundation. At the annual Scholars and Donors Luncheon,
students speak of what scholarship support means to them and to
their families, especially in trying financial times.
If you add the Foundation’s support of the Northwest
Florida Symphony Orchestra, the Mattie Kelly Arts Center, the
Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, Raider Athletics, Nursing, BSN,
BAS and BSE programs, you still have only a partial picture of
what the Foundation means to the college.
The Visual Arts Building, outdoor sculptures, fish swimming
in Science Building fish tanks, benches circling the Seven
Dancers fountain, the Human Patient Simulator used by college
nursing students, American flags in each classroom and even
many library books are there because of Foundation donors.
Donors first envision and then they act, and in the process, bring
more to the college and the students we serve. Our greatest
successes are directly due to those who see value in our mission
and continually support us with their gifts.
I stand amazed at the difference that Northwest Florida State
College has made in our community and in the lives of so many
individuals around us. Thank you for your continued support of
our mission to strengthen our college and our students.

President’s
Report
The Florida College System, which encompasses the state’s 28
public community and state colleges, plays a key role in the state’s
economic recovery and future. As citizens in Florida and our local
region look to upgrade their job skills, train for a new career or begin
a college degree, they turn to affordable and accessible community
and state colleges.
Florida’s “Great 28” served more than 850,000 students in 2009
– an increase of 9.6 percent from the previous year. Indications
are that 2010 will continue this rapid growth trend. At Northwest
Florida State College, 16,931 students were served in 2009 – an
increase of 7.5% from the previous year.
Not only are students enrolling in record numbers, the
Florida College System leads the southeast region in graduation/
progression rates and is among the nation’s top producers of
associate degrees. The number of degrees granted by NWFSC also
continues to break records with 1,881 degrees and certificates
granted in 2009 – a 6.4 percent increase over the previous year and
the highest annual total in the college’s history.
Dr. Will Holcombe, chancellor of the Florida College System
recently noted that, “The doors to our colleges remain open as
they continue to provide the necessary skills essential for today’s
workforce.” This is true at NWFSC as it is across the state. Our open
door admissions policy means we meet students at their point
of need. Often times we are the first, and sometimes the only,
opportunity for students to achieve higher education.
G. Thomas Delaino
Interim President
NWF State College
Yet, while enrollments are soaring, state funding is down 14
percent for community and state colleges over the past three years.
In effect, the system is now serving some 70,000 unfunded students.
That’s why sensible and sustained investment in the vital
mission of NWFSC is so important. Scholarship and program
support by individuals and corporations provide hope and help
for thousands of local students – whether it be in a career oriented
certificate, an associate degree or progression into one of NWFSC’s
five popular baccalaureate programs which are focused on the
critical workforce areas of nursing, education and business. Thank
you for your past support and for your on-going commitment to
preparing the next generation for success.

Kelly Burke
Legacy Honored
Missouri, was one such student. “The Burke Scholarship made
my degree possible,” said Scott. “My two years at OWCC were
almost entirely covered by the scholarship. When I moved on
to UWF, the monetary support made the financial burden
much easier to bear. With two children, sometimes college
tuition was not always easy to find. I will always be indebted
to Lt. Gen. and Mrs. Burke for their confidence in me and for
their financial support.”
Former Northwest Florida State College Foundation Director
Kelly Burke was a mainstay on the Foundation Board of Directors
for more than 15 years. The retired Air Force Lt. General was
appointed to the Board of Directors in 1994 when the college
was still known as Okaloosa-Walton Community College. In his
years of service as a member of the Board of Directors, Burke’s
influence was especially felt on the Finance Committee, the
committee responsible for guiding and monitoring Foundation
investments. Recently he retired from active board service and
his daughter, Bethany, has joined the board to help continue the
family legacy of service.
Introduced to the college Foundation by retired NWFSC
employee Bill Hall, who was paired with Burke in a local golf
tournament, the General and his family have been among
the great friends of the college. In 1993, Burke and his wife
established the Kelly and Denny Burke Family Scholarship
Endowment with a gift of $60,000. The scholarship was designed
for non-traditional students with military men and women and
their spouses being recipients that were particularly favored.
Not ones to sit back and look at the many students who
benefitted from the scholarship and be satisfied, the Burkes
decided to establish the Burke Plus 2 Scholarship with the
Foundation. This particular scholarship is awarded annually to
a number of students who have received their degrees from
NWFSC but who were not Burke Scholars while attending the
college. The scholarship provides $1,500 per academic year for
two years to any public college or university in Florida, including
NWFSC. The Burkes also support NWFSC student nurses through
the Patricia Burke-Ackal Nursing Scholarship named in memory
of their daughter, Patty.
Once students began receiving scholarship awards, the
Burkes decided to extend the scope of the scholarship and
add a bonus feature. The Burke Scholarship began to offer an
additional two years at any public Florida college or university
to scholarship recipients who wanted to work toward their
Bachelor’s degree. Riotta Scott, former NWFSC Web Page
Designer and current web team member at the University of
From the first eight students who received the inaugura
Kelly and Denny Burke Family Scholarship in 1994, the Burke
family has awarded scholarships to 235 students. Though his
tenure on the NWFSC Foundation Board of Directors is over,
Kelly Burke’s legacy, and that of the entire Burke family,
will live on in the hundreds of students whose lives they
have touched.

2009 Overview
Friends of Northwest Florida State College continue to make a
positive impact by donating to the NWFSC Foundation. They know
that education changes lives for the better and makes a difference
not only for students, but also contributes to a better community
and stronger economy. In good economic times and in bad, it is
the donors who either step up or retreat as their circumstances
allow. In 2009, NWFSC Foundation donors definitely stepped up.
Families, businesses, nonprofit organizations, colleges and
universities across the United States have felt the economic strain
and Northwest Florida State College is no exception. In February,
2008, NWFSC Foundation Board members drafted a letter to
send to nearly 100 donors, explaining that in light of the previous
year’s negative return on the endowment, extra help would be
needed to award scholarships in fall 2009. The response was most
gratifying. Contributions and pledges from donors more than
made up the anticipated shortfall in scholarship funding and
the goal of bringing in enough to renew two-year scholarships
was met. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Foundation
awarded 306 scholarships for the 2009 academic year, or roughly
$306,800 to support student success.
Scholarship gifts come in a variety of ways, speaking to the
ingenuity, as well as the generosity, of our donors. For example,
there was Chad Wilkey from Crestview who lost his younger
brother C. J. in an automobile accident. To honor C. J. and his
love of music, Wilkey and his friend, Jodie Beane, determined
to establish a scholarship for a student musician. Both avid
motorcycle enthusists, the natural inclination was to have a
poker run, inviting “bikers” from all over northwest Florida to
participate. The proceeds from this successful first-time fundraiser
established the scholarship fund. Love of music and honoring a
departed loved one was also motivation for Mary Mancini, widow
of another well-known musician, Mike Mancini. In memory of her
late husband and to assist students Mary funded the Mike Mancini
Scholarship for a Gifted Musician by hosting big-band and jazz
concerts with all proceeds going toward the scholarship.
Continuing the musical theme, the Northwest Florida
Symphony Orchestra, with a lead gift from the Symphony Guild,
created the KATS (Kids at the Symphony) Program to instill and
advance the love of symphony music among local children. KATS
has been generously sponsored by individuals, businesses, civic
organizations and foundations who share a passion for creating
musical experiences for students of all ages. Numerous youngsters
and their parents have enjoyed symphony concerts held in the
Mattie Kelly Arts Center this season as a result of their generosity.
~8~
The First Generation in College Scholarship was, as its name
implies, established solely for students who are the first in their
families to ever attend college. Donors, including members of the
college’s District Board of Trustees and members of the NWFSC
Foundation Board of Directors, stepped up this past year with a
total of $20,000, the amount necessary for a $1-to-$1 match from
the Foundation for Florida’s Community Colleges. This match is
critical since the State of Florida has been unable to distribute
matching scholarship dollars for several years.
Dotty Blacker of Valparaiso once saw the need for a Visual Arts
Building to compliment that of the performing arts and invested
seed money to make it happen. When the building was a reality,
Blacker helped fund two one-of-a-kind sculptures to grace the
walkways leading up to the Visual Arts Building. Now Dotty’s
sights are set on the green between the Administration and
Science Buildings on the Niceville Campus. Blacker’s significant
gift will fund a truly working work-of-art when an interactive
sundial is designed and installed.
Tim McDonald and Fort Walton Machining continued to
build the Fort Walton Machining Endowed Teaching Chair in
Project and Acquisitions Management, just as Bob and Venita
Morell and David and Susan Cohen continued funding the
Janet Nadel Morell Endowed Teaching Chair in Reading and
Literature in memory of their mother and mother-in-law.
Alumnus Bruce Shavey continued his annual commitment to fund
the Shavey Family Scholarships, B. J., Karen and Kalena Thomhave
hosted their annual golf tournament to fund the Christian
Thomhave Scholarship in memory of their son and brother, and
Wayne and Susan Campbell funded additional support for the
Meagan Campbell Health Technology Scholarship in memory of
their daughter. Friends of Meagan added to this support with their
gifts given through the United Way. This past year Foundation
assets also grew through the generosity of two trusts, those of
Mrs. Marie Snow Greene of Shalimar and Mr. E. L. Herrington of
Crestview which prove the importance of planned giving.
It is worth noting that the Foundation ended the year with
donor support to the college up by seven percent over the same
period last year. Encouragement, support and friendship are the
bedrock of the NWFSC Foundation. The Foundation is dependent
upon those who see value in our mission and do whatever they
can to support it. No matter the final destination of the designated
gift, the Foundation is grateful for both the gift, the reason behind
the gift and the donor who made it possible.

Endowed Teaching Chairs
The Endowed Teaching Chair Program for Northwest Florida State College is designed to enrich student
achievement by recognizing the strength of the college—its teaching faculty and instructional departments.
Teaching Chairs have traditionally been associated with universities to lure pre-eminent researchers to
the institutions. The Endowed Teaching Chair Program at NWFSC molds the tradition into the college by
rewarding excellence in teaching, recognizing academic achievement, enhancing college programs and by
creating new educational or cultural opportunities.
