Message from the President of Saddleback College
Saddleback College will be the first choice of students who seek a
dynamic, innovative, and student-centered postsecondary education
– this is the vision of Saddleback College.
Dr. Tod A. Burnett
President
Saddleback College
Saddleback College has
been the f irst choice for
higher education and
training in South Orange
County since 1968. Our
more than 500,000 alumni
can attest to the quality of
our academic and career
training programs that
enable students to successfully
achieve their educational,
professional, and personal
goals. Our rich academic
traditions and strong
reputation make Saddleback
College an ideal place for
students seeking associate
degrees and certificates,
transferring to four year
colleges and universities,
preparing for the workforce,
or pursuing lifelong
learning opportunities.
Every day, thousands of people participate in making this vision
a reality. Our beautiful campus would clearly not exist without
our talented faculty, dedicated staff and inquisitive students.
The support of the larger south Orange County community is
what enables our campus to truly thrive. Thanks to the Board of
Governors and the leadership of past presidents Gary Capata and
Donna Varner and current president Jim Leach, the community
support for Saddleback College has grown dramatically over
the past five years. During this time the endowment grew from
$497,181 to $5,242,081 (954% increase) and we increased the total
scholarship dollars awarded from $198,650 to $509,790 (157% increase). This enabled us to expand
the number of students receiving support from 180 to 326 (81% increase).
This year our community supported us in remarkable ways that enhanced our programs and prepared
our students to transfer successfully to top notch four year institutions and enter the workforce with
the background they need to succeed. Below are just a few examples of the incredible generosity
bestowed upon the Saddleback family.
This was a very exciting year for students majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics
(STEM). During the first year of a three year grant from the National Science Foundation, 14
academically talented and financially needy students received scholarships of more than $9,000 each.
Edison International also focused their funding on STEM students. By combining their resources with
matching funds from the Saddleback College Foundation, $37,500 was available for scholarships and
tutorial services.
The Automotive Technology Department received substantial community support in a variety of ways:
¡
Tuttle-Click Tustin Chrysler Jeep Dodge provided $50,000 for scholarships and
toolkits for students entering the automotive technology certificate program
¡
Grainger Tools for Tomorrow Scholarships also gave scholarships and toolkits, but
focused on technical education students entering their second year
¡
Kia Motors America once again ensured that our students had cars with some of the
latest technology to work on by donating three vehicles this year bringing their total
to 12. The value of this year’s cars is $65,000
The California Community Foundation is ensuring that our nursing program remains number one in
the nation in licensure exams by providing nearly $25,000 in scholarships for nursing students.
I would be remiss in not highlighting the changes experienced by the Foundation. Under the guidance
of the Board of Governors and with the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Foundation has an
entirely new look. Instead of a part time, interim director and temporary support staff, the office now
consists of an executive director, a director of annual giving and part-time permanent support staff. We
relocated the office to a more central location on campus. Once again, I extend a sincere thank you to
the Board of Governors and everyone who made this a remarkable year for Saddleback College.

Student Success Story: Kyle Long
“My wife Diane and I handed Coach Mark (McElroy) a man-child
three years ago. What we got back was a young man who understood the
importance of classroom, and the importance of being reliable,” said Howie
Long, Former NFL player and parent of former Saddleback football player
Kyle Long.
This was a remarkable year for the Saddleback College Football program due
to both former student success and money raised to support the program.
Two former Saddleback offensive linemen, Kyle Long and Menelik Watson, were drafted into the NFL.
Drafted in the first round, Long is playing for the Chicago Bears and in the second round Watson was
drafted by the Oakland Raiders. These individuals are remarkable athletes and shining examples of
what our athletic program stands for. Howie Long, said that the football program is, “Helping young
men from all walks of life grow both as players, but more importantly as young men.” Their belief in the
strength of our athletic program inspired Howie and Diane Long to give a $25,000 gift in support of
the Saddleback College football program.

The generous gift made by the Long Family was a gift of cash. The Foundation office
gladly accepts, checks, cash or credit card. You can also make a gift online at

On April 20th a record breaking 400 people gathered in the gymnasium at Saddleback
College for the 13th annual Saddleback College Foundation gala, Vegas Meets Hollywood.
Through general sponsorships, table sponsors, gaming and a silent auction, funds were
raised to provide scholarships and support for college programs. While coordinated by the
Foundation and the Board of Governors, the success of this event belongs to the entire
Saddleback College Community. Faculty, students and community members provided items
for the silent auction. Students prepared and served the hors d’oeuvres and dessert. The fine
arts faculty designed the décor and worked with students to create the ambience for the
evening. The entertainment was provided throughout the evening by our extremely talented
faculty and students. In addition to raising money to support a wonderful community
institution while having a great time, attendees also experienced so much of what makes
Saddleback College such an incredible place.
At the gala, Richard
Crawford, cornerback
of the Washington
Redskins, was honored
as the Alumnus of
the Year. Guests that
evening listened intently
as Crawford shared his
story and the role that
Saddleback played in
his football career. After
not being picked up by
any four year institutions
during his senior year of
high school, he chose
to attend Saddleback
College due to the
outstanding reputation
of the coaches and
past football teams.
Determined to get to the NFL, he did all he was asked to do and more. With support and
guidance from the football coaches, Crawford became a model scholar-athlete, student and
human being. After spending 2008 and 2009 at Saddleback, he went on to study and play
football for Southern Methodist University. He joined the Redskins in 2012. While he may
no longer wear the Gaucho uniform, it is clear that he will always be a Gaucho at heart as he
made it crystal clear that he will do whatever he is asked to help Saddleback College.

Saddleback College is fully accredited, offering over 300 associate degrees, certif icates, and occupational skills
awards in 190 program areas taught by a faculty renowned for its expertise, experience, and commitment to

Athletic Stadium Renovation
Saddleback College has
hundreds of student
athletes who compete on
nine men’s and 11 women’s
teams. The Gauchos are
truly outstanding, having
won three national
championships, 24 state
championships, 44 regional
titles, and 155 conference
titles. Our student athletes
not only succeed on the f ield,
they excel in the classroom
as well. For the fall 2009
semester, nearly half of all
student athletes made the
Athletic Honor Roll—
completing 2-or-more units
with a 3.00 or higher grade
point average and 83%
of the sophomore athletes
transferred to a four-year
college or university.
Saddleback is committed to being the college of choice in
south Orange County for lower division college study. The
Foundation understands that being the college of choice
means Saddleback must also offer attractive facilities of
the highest quality. In support of that goal, the Foundation
supports the growth and renovation of the athletic stadium.
As Howie Long said, “It is the front porch of the college
and a new stadium is the key to taking our already excellent
athletic programs to an even higher level of prominence and
achievement.” During the 2012-2013 academic year the
Foundation provided funding for conceptual drawings of the
new stadium and is garnering support for the project from the
communities that will benefit from it.

The numbers above illustrate the record breaking year the
foundation had raising funds for scholarships. Part of this success
was due to an innovative program created by the Saddleback
College Foundation and supported by the Associated Student
Government. Both groups challenged contributors to maximize
the impact of their gift by offering matching funds. For every $2
someone gave, the Foundation added $1. These matching funds
were available to the first $140,000 contributed. The concept
inspired people to give generously especially since the bottom line
was – more students received the financial assistance they needed.
When you ask Gil Rowland (pictured above), member of the
Saddleback Kiwanis what inspired him to get involved with their
scholarship program he shares the story of the first person he met
who received a scholarship from their Club. A woman came to their
weekly meeting to tell them about the work of her non-profit. She
started by telling them that she owed her success to Saddleback
Kiwanis. After getting into some trouble in high school, she
managed to straighten her life out and wanted to attend Saddleback
College. The college accepted her and she enrolled in classes only
to discover that she could not afford the books. Kiwanis provided
a scholarship to cover the cost. Fast forward, she went onto a four
year institution, and then earned her Ph.D. and started a non-profit
to help others. Gil ends the story by saying, “Can you imagine a
better return on investment?”

Scholarships are a wonderful way to make a tax deductible gift and directly impact
the life of a Saddleback College student. You have the option of contributing to the
general scholarship fund or for a gift of $500 or more you can create a scholarship that
benefits a specific type of student. You can focus on someone within a specific major,
an individual transferring to a favorite four year institution and many other variables.
One way to fund a scholarship is through a gift of stock. Gifts of marketable securities
or stocks listed on an exchange can be donated with no taxation on the gain of the
appreciated stock as long as it is given directly to the Saddleback College Foundation.
Of the 112 California Community
Colleges, Saddleback College ranks
8th in transfers to the University
of California and 17th in transfers
to the California State University.
Of the nine community colleges in
Orange County, Saddleback College
ranks f irst in transfers to UC Santa
Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, San
Diego State University, Cal Poly
San Luis Obispo, USC, and ASU
and ranks second to UC Berkeley,
UCLA, and UC San Diego.
LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER
TUTORING
Impact of Significant Gifts
Collaboration can produce remarkable results. The creation of
Math and Science Learning communities is a perfect example of
the impact groups can have when they work together. Thanks to
combined support from Edison International, Associated Student
Government, the President’s Office, the Saddleback College
Foundation, and LRC Tutoring, in coordination with the Division
of Math and Science an innovative peer tutoring program launched
this spring. The program, referred to as Math and Science Learning
Communities (Supplemental Instruction), focused on promoting
student success in at risk math and science courses at Saddleback
College. With the additional funding, faculty members recruited,
mentored, trained and equipped their tutor to serve as a peer tutor
for the class. The peer tutor attended class sessions for two hours
per week and tutored for eight hours within the tutoring center. In
this pilot program, 14 tutors served over 600 students.
Close communication between students, the tutor, and the
instructor created an atmosphere of learning and engagement that
allowed students to grasp difficult content and to complete the
course successfully. LRC Tutoring success rates are 81% compared
with the college average of 71%. Persistence rates for students
using LRC Tutoring for six or more hours have soared to 94% as
compared to a 78% persistence rate for the general Saddleback
College student population.

Veterans Art Project
When a friend of the College heard about a program Steve Dilly
created to help veterans and their families deal with post-traumatic
stress disorder, he wanted to help. As the son of a veteran and a
veteran himself, he knew all too well the challenges members of
the military face as they enter civilian life. Inspired by research
into alternative treatments for veterans, faculty created a ceramics
program to help Saddleback College veterans and their families
with the adjustments. The veteran loved the program and made a
generous $36,000 contribution to cover all the costs of the program
– materials, faculty time, and even money for snacks to ensure
that there was a social aspect to the class. Each week an average
of 11 participants gathered to learn about ceramics, create their
own pieces, and socialize. The class is seen as a bridge to academic
success, especially for those who are not yet ready to take traditional
classes, as well as for students enrolled in regular academic courses.
As an activity, ceramics leads to a deeper understanding of the
materials, processes and opportunities a college education offers.
The veterans embraced the opportunity as they lost themselves in
the creative process and reported that seeing the final product was
remarkably satisfying. Everyone involved felt the impact of this
program and how much it helped.
2012-2013 Annual Report
Saddleback College offers a vibrant student life, with an active student
government, more than 50 campus clubs, champion athletic teams,
eclectic arts scene, and diverse cultural events.

KSBR – Celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of the KSBR
What began in 1989 as a small party in
a hotel lounge has grown to what the
Orange County Register called, “The
Super Bowl of Smooth Jazz.” This year’s
Bash proved to be the most successful
in its history in every way. More than
2,500 people gathered to hear the
incredible concert and raise a record
breaking $150,000. The “star-studded”
line-up incorporated more than 30
musicians including Dave Koz, Boney
James, Peter White, Rick Braun, Keiko Matsui, Greg
Adams, Chris Standring, and Paul Brown. Each of the musicians mentioned
reached the top spot on one of the various Billboard sales and airplay charts.
What makes the KSBR Birthday Bash unique is that many of the performers
are bandleaders in their own right, but on this day, everyone plays on each
other’s songs in various all-star configurations, making each Bash a once-in-alifetime experience for both the artists and the audience.
For the second year in a row, a
Saddleback College Cinema/TV/
Radio student was named “Best DJ”
in the National Student Production
Awards. Esmeralda Olamendi
received the honor during the
National Student Electronic
Media Convention.

Giving Tidbit
The gift described below is comprised of
both an upfront gift of cash and a planned
gift. Don Greenspan generously included
the Saddleback College Foundation in his
will in order to fully endow the scholarship in
memory of his wife.
The Julienne Callahan Greenspan
Endowment for the Arts
After his beloved wife, Julienne Callahan
Greenspan passed away, Don Greenspan
wanted to honor her memory in a way
that would reflect her passions and make
a difference in the lives of students in
perpetuity. Working with Dr. Rickner, he
created a plan to celebrate her life’s passions.
As a student at Saddleback, Julienne focused
her time on journalism. She contributed to
the Crow’s Nest, a literary campus magazine
and ultimately became the editor. Under her
leadership, the magazine won 19 awards.
Her love of writing continued throughout
her life. She also developed an interest in
the arts, specifically in drawing, painting
and photography. It was with this in mind
that Don endowed two scholarships, one
for a journalism student and another for
someone majoring in drawing, painting
or photography. Don will support the
scholarships during his lifetime by making
annual gifts of cash. He included an
endowment in his estate to continue the
scholarship in perpetuity. This thoughtful
gift not only memorializes a woman who
was dedicated to the areas she loved, but
it also provides extra encouragement and
support to students who show aptitude in
these areas.

“The members of the Board of
Governors of the Saddleback
College Foundation are
true community leaders—
volunteers who give their time
and their money to support the
college and its programs. They
know, as I do, what a great
resource the college is to our
community. It does a superb
job of preparing students for
whatever path they pursue—
transfer to a four-year school,
a good job, career re-training,
or simply life-long learning.
The opportunities are there
whether you’re a graduating
high school senior or a senior
citizen returning for the
college’s outstanding Emeritus
program.
Saddleback is, without
question, the best lower
division college option for
citizens and students of all
ages in south Orange County.
It’s a great institution, a
great economic engine and
a wonderful cultural center
nestled right in the heart of
where we live.
I have a spouse and a son
who have benefitted from
the college and what it has
to offer, so I know firsthand
how Saddleback can make
a difference. This college
significantly impacts the
lives of tens of thousands of
students every semester.
It is my privilege to lead the
Board of Governors and to be
associated with so many who
contribute to Saddleback’s
success.”
