Executive Director’s Message
Tall buildings and lofty dreams
need deep foundations
We’ve all heard dramatic stories of people whose lives have broken down, but who turn things around
after enrolling at a community college. But I genuinely believe the more common community college
story is one we rarely hear: the one where a combination of community support and LBCC, lead to the
right choices that keep lives on track in the first place.
With support from the LBCC Foundation, LBCC changes lives a little every day, and that makes an
enormous difference in our communities. Those stories are hard to tell, because they play out over a
lifetime. So here is an LBCC story that I think represents many of the stories we never hear. It is a story
that is still playing out – because it’s mine.
My parents were entrepreneurs – people who at various times owned an auction and/or operated
a second-hand store that resembled a perpetual garage sale. When my father was healthy, they did
alright, but health was not a perpetual gift for my father. Even in the darkest financial times, we were
never hungry or destitute. I was blessed with a lot of love, support and encouragement to do everything
I could with my life, including go to college. But by the time I was college aged, there wasn’t a lot of
extra money for tuition.
I was lucky enough to be eligible for a scholarship from a foundation in our community that paid my
tuition, and I was born at the right time. Public funding supported state higher education for me and
my fellow students at a much higher rate then than today.
And I was living in the right place. Linn-Benton Community College changed my life. I completed the
first two years of my bachelor’s degree here from 1977 to 1979. I still remember all of my instructors,
many of whom saw more in me than I saw in myself, and who instilled my confidence and inspired
my drive to make a difference in the world.
I’ve worked in journalism, health care marketing, and community college public relations and
development for three decades, and my resume is filled with accomplishments I’m very proud of. But
I couldn’t have done any of it on my own. It started with the choice to attend LBCC, and without the
support of my parents and my community, that may have been a choice I couldn’t or wouldn’t have
made. It humbles me to realize how lucky I am. And I hope it makes all of us determined to ensure all
of us have the same chance at being as fortunate.
Returning last year as Executive Director of the LBCC Foundation, supporting the school that
“launched” me, has tremendous meaning for me. The support I received here has served as the seed
for the growth of my own philanthropic heart, inspiring me to “pay it forward” both for the immediate
benefit the charitable giving brings and because I know first-hand the only way to sustain support
in the future is to provide it to people today. My ongoing personal financial support of the LBCC
Foundation is the best investment in my portfolio.
In building construction, a tall structure requires a deep foundation. And as Linn-Benton Community
College reaches for ever loftier goals to serve our communities, the depth of our Foundation is a
crucial factor. LBCC has adopted inspiring new goals to support student success and completion, and
the Foundation has adopted ambitious new goals to support that.
I hope as you look through the pages of this report, you’ll be inspired to renew or increase your
support for this amazing resource our community has created through the LBCC Foundation. There
is no doubt you are writing the opening chapters to amazing new stories that will improve lives and
our communities, and creating the next generation of supporters to keep our communities vital and
successful.

Letter from the President of LBCC
Creativity and Courage in Passionate
Pursuit of our Purpose
In my earlier years, I had the somewhat dubious privilege of teaching some friends how to
play poker. My qualifications included my semi-earned reputation as a card shark and a strong
academic background in statistics. My instruction began with the refutation of the commonly
held – and false – notion that “it’s all in the cards.”
In fact, as I explained to my friends, over the course of multiple hands, we each receive the exact
same set of cards, and therefore winners and losers are NOT made by the cards we are dealt but
instead by the way we play them. A strategy of playing both the good cards and the bad cards as best
we can is what defines a winner in poker, and in life, too.
If we ever at LBCC were being dealt our own “difficult hand,” it is easy to conclude that the time is
now. A long pattern of declining state support for our community colleges, volatility in enrollment,
economic instability, and shifting state educational objectives that move the focus (and funding)
on completion instead of enrollment could tempt us to make excuses, throw in the cards, and
demand a new hand. Tempting, that is, if not for the kind of community college that I know LBCC
to be, located in the kind of communities that we serve.
Creativity and courage are the keys. Our commitment to our students and our community is not
conditional on the cards in our hand. To maximize our own capacity for creativity at LBCC, we
are stepping beyond the structures that we ourselves developed to give us a sense (in many cases, a
false sense) of security and stability, and instead turning to each other for the creative capacity that
exists within us all. It is said that the “walls we build to protect us are ultimately the same walls
that imprison us,” and I believe with all my heart that our future depends on breaking out of our
prison of doing it as it has always been done in order to meet our challenges and turn them into
future success.
In his book “Start with Why,” Simon Sinek reminds us that whereas the average organization
focuses on “what” they do, great organization never take their eyes off of “the why.” I believe the
clarity of purpose that has guided us for 46 years is the same clarity of purpose that gives us the
freedom to adjust what we do to serve that purpose in changing times. And our clearest statement
of purpose is our Mission, which is why we adopted a statement at the end of 2012 that our
community believes more fully expresses that purpose. It reads:
President Greg Hamann
“
To
in an education that
enables all of us to
participate in, contribute
to, and benefit from the
cultural richness and
economic vitality
of our communities.
”
“To engage in an education that enables all of us to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from
the cultural richness and economic vitality of our communities.”
As you read through the pages of this combined annual report of Linn-Benton Community College
and the LBCC Foundation, you’ll see many ways we are passionately pursuing this purpose. They
touch every area of the college, and they are leading our Foundation to ambitious new goals to
engage our community in financially investing in the college, and the community, that lead to
greater participation, contribution and benefit for all of us.
Creativity and courage, passionate pursuit of our purpose: These are ingredients we have in
abundance, and they are essential to “play our cards” like the winners we need to be.
Greg Hamann

Singing, Composing, Performing
LBCC vocal a cappella ensembles Blue Light Special (men’s group) and The
Sirens (women’s group) often compose their own arrangements, many of which are
performed at their choir concerts, said James Reddan, choral director.
“Students are
learning how to
compose their
own music.”
The students learn to arrange music through MUS 101 and MUS 111. They have
amassed a large library of works, said Reddan, and have performed several of
their pieces in competitions.
~James Reddan,
choral director
Students in LBCC’s choir and a cappella groups are doing more than just
singing their hearts out.They are learning how to compose their own music.
For the 2013 winter concert, the students composed and performed four
arrangements. And for the 2013 spring concert, student James Moursund will
debut a piece that he composed for the choir. Also conducting for the spring
concert are students Elise Hermes and Serena Lodes.
“I like the smaller class sizes,
which allow me to really get to
know other students, and the
instructors to get to know me.
That, along with lower tuition
costs -which makes my out of
pocket expenses more affordable
- makes LBCC a good choice.”

Advanced Transportation Technology Center
Moving Forward
Building upon 40 years of success in training students
in the auto and diesel programs, LBCC is moving
strongly forward to provide training in the alternative
fuel systems of today and the future. Expansion of the
automotive and heavy equipment/diesel programs is
critical to support community, business and industry
investments in alternative fuel vehicles.
Industrial Development Corporation. Estimated cost
for the center is $7 million.
Industry partners include Snap On, Pacific Power,
John and Phil’s Toyota, John Deere, LKQ Corporation,
Drive Oregon, and CoEnergy Propane.
LBCC’s Advanced Transportation Technology Center
will be the only major training facility for alternative
fuels vehicles between Seattle and San Francisco,
and will serve as a first step toward creating a base
for alternative fuel technology in the Willamette Valley.
“The center will have cutting edge equipment,
such as a EV/hybrid dynamometer,” said Bryan
Schiedler, LBCC automotive technology instructor.
“The equipment can provide a perfect opportunity for
industry to partner with the college to develop new
battery and alternative fuel technologies right here.”
The college has purchased an 11-acre site
in Lebanon for the center, which includes a
35,000-square-foot industrial building that will be
ready for students beginning fall 2013. In addition
to traditional training, instruction will be offered in
compressed natural gas (CNG), propane, electric,
biodiesel, and hydrogen. At nearly half the price of
diesel fuel, CNG is a viable alternative fuel.
In addition to providing training for students and
incumbent workers, the center will have 3,000-squarefeet of flex space, and Schiedler would like to see
partnerships develop that will set the valley up to
become a hybrid vehicle and electric car battery
research and development site, providing an
opportunity for shared learning in research and
development with local industry.
Plans call for a 10,000-square-foot classroom and
a 15,000-square-foot heavy equipment, diesel and
transportation building to be built on the site.
Construction is anticipated to begin this summer.
Along with the vehicle technology, Schiedler would
like to see the college become an integral part of the
development of infrastructure to support fueling these
vehicles, such as creating alternative fueling stations
for trucks that transport goods up and down the I-5
corridor.
Major funding for the center includes more than $2
million in private donations, $1.4 million from the City
of Lebanon Urban Renewal District, $800,000 from
Oregon lottery funds, and $100,000 from the Lebanon

Diversity, Cultural Enrichment
& Community Engagement
Javier Cervantes
As director of LBCC’s
Office of Diversity
and Community
Engagement, Javier
Cervantes wants to
make certain that staff
and students, as well as
community members,
have the support they
need to work in the
diverse college and
community environment
in which we live today.
Cultural competency plays a big part in how we
interact with others, says Cervantes. Working with
faculty and students, he is bringing our differences
into perspective by helping us understand
the diversity on campus, which encompasses
everything from gender and sexual orientation, race,
ethnicity and spirituality to our military veterans and
older than average students returning to school.
“Working on our cultural competency helps to give
us a sense of who we are in the multicultural and
diverse world that we live in,” said Cervantes.
Part of his role on campus includes overseeing
the Diversity Achievement Center (DAC), which
provides an inclusive place for students and staff to
learn, study and build community. The center often
holds events around diversity and cultural education
including showing films and hosting speakers on
topics of diversity, inclusion, unity and social justice.
“The DAC attempts to be intentional about crosscultural interactions, discovery and learning,” said
Cervantes.
The DAC also provides resources such as
skills development, coaching, mentorship and
professional development opportunities for the
college. In addition, Cervantes is leading work
on how we teach curriculum toward a diverse
workforce, with a goal to teach LBCC students to be
globally competitive.
In our community, Cervantes engages and serves
on several local commissions and committees
including the Linn-Benton Hispanic Advisory Board,
the City of Albany Human Relations Commission,
and the Employer’s Partnership for Diversity of Linn
and Benton Counties.
He also is founder and co-chair of the
Diversity and Inclusion Consortium of
Oregon Community Colleges, which brings
together people from colleges throughout the
state to discuss issues and initiatives around
diversity.
In the future, Cervantes would like to see
LBCC become the college of choice for
Latino high school students, and is leading
outreach efforts on campus to provide more
documents in Spanish to reach out to the
parents of these students.
“Working on our cultural
competency helps to give us
a sense of who we are in the
multicultural and diverse world
that we live in.”
~Javier Cervantes, Director of
Diversity & Community Engagement

Destination
Graduation
Destination Graduation is a new
program launched last fall that
connects new LBCC students to
the services and people that can
help them succeed.
The DG program is a four-week college
success course which, among other
things, ensures that every incoming
LBCC student has their own academic
advisor. Early results look good.
According to college data, students
taking the course continued from fall to
winter at a measurably higher rate than
students who did not.
“I found Destination Graduation to be very
helpful because it gave me insight into college
life and how to handle the challenges of coming
to college. At first I wasn’t very excited about
taking the class, but after being in class and the
way the information was presented, I was glad
I took it. I learned a lot about college resources,
like the computer lab, and also how to access the
college web site to find the information I needed.
Overall, it was a good experience for me.”
~ Dalia Lababidi
AAOT – OSU Transfer student
“Destination Graduation provides a good orientation to
LBCC. It helped set me up for the school year, and gave me a
good handle on everything LBCC has to offer. DG also made
the transition into college much easier, and helped me feel
more a part of LBCC.”
~ Brandon Vance
Social Sciences
“I am an enthusiastic supporter of Destination Graduation. Fall term I
was able to teach three sections of DG. I believe that DG helps LBCC students hit
the ground running with so much helpful information that facilitates the future
success of our students. This happens by providing information at the earliest
stages of a student’s time here at LBCC. It provides helpful information on
advising, including having students set up appointments with their academic
advisor in the first term. They also receive information and the locations for
academic tutoring and other vital student related services. For me, the biggest
benefit is to help the student see the vision of the future, that of them being a
successful student and eventual graduate of LBCC.”

Student Government
in Action
Student access,engagement
and governance has been
the focal point for LBCC
student government leaders
this past year. Their work
included developing campus
policy on transparency of
student fees, and a “Get Out
the Vote” campaign, which
registered 2,625 new voters.
Student leaders also led
trips to the state capitol
in support of community
college funding, the tuition
equity bill and increased
funding for the Oregon
Opportunity Grant.
Student Governance: Student leaders have taken the
lead in setting policy for developing true student governance on
campus. With a focus on creating policy at the college level, students
submitted a revision to LBCC Board Policy 7015. The policy, adopted
by the LBCC Board of Education, will give students more control over
the student fee process by allowing them to vote to determine the
level of fees aside from tuition. The new policy has the potential to
become a model for other Oregon community colleges.
Get Out The Vote: Registering 2,625 new voters on campus
last spring and fall, the “Get Out the Vote” campaign saw leaders
educating fellow students on last fall’s measures and candidates
in a non-partisan way, said Eric Noll, communications major and
legislative affairs director for the LBCC Student Leadership Council.
The drive was part of a larger campaign held at college campuses
statewide, and was the largest non-partisan voter registration drive in
the state’s history, registering 50,750 new voters.
State Legislative Work: LBCC student leaders lobbied
the state capitol in support of community college funding, working
closely with the Oregon Student Association, the Oregon Community
College Student Association and the Oregon Community College
Association. Student leaders also headed to the capitol in support of
Oregon’s tuition equity bill, which provides undocumented students
who were brought to the U.S. as young children the opportunity
to pay in-state tuition at Oregon public universities. They also
participated in Oregon Opportunity Day in support of increased
funding for the Oregon Opportunity Grant for college-bound students.
“We get to
be a pioneer
for the rest
of the state’s
community
colleges.”

Leading the Way to
Sustainable Education
A 2012 national report on higher education and
the economy concluded that without significant
redesign of the nation’s community colleges, the
American Dream is imperiled. With the U.S. standard
of living dropping for the first time in history from
one generation to the next, and 17 other countries
now outperforming the U.S. in the level of education
provided to its citizens, the report concluded that the
nation’s future and the future of community colleges
are interwoven.
Linn-Benton Community College is responding. The
college launched planning efforts to redesign its
educational and student service models last year,
with an ambitious goal of creating education that
is available to all, takes less money per graduate
to deliver, and that measurably improves each
graduates ability to participate in, benefit from and
contribute to the cultural richness and economic
vitality of the community.
In fact, LBCC President Greg Hamann is among the
more than 90 community college leaders nationwide
serving on the 21st Century Commission for
Community Colleges response team. The commission
is supported by, among others, the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation and the American Association of
Community Colleges.
And this is just one example of how LBCC is leading
the way to developing and delivering sustainable
education.
Last fall, a wide range of “Solutions Groups”
launched at LBCC to tackle redesign issues. They
are grappling with issues ranging from the best ways
to engage students in beneficial relationships that
lead to their completion, to ways to deliver education
to a wider range of people more cost effectively.
Every aspect of the college is being examined,
including instruction, student services and advising,
administrative structure, and even the college’s fundraising efforts.
The college also joined Achieving the Dream, a
coalition of more than 160 community colleges.
Achieving the Dream is an initiative that provides tools
and guidance to community colleges so they can
use data to design and measure efforts to increase
student success and graduation.
President Hamann also serves on the Oregon Quality
Education Commission. Created in 2001 with a
primary focus on K-12, the nonpartisan commission
has expanded to include pre-kindergarten through
public higher education, and is tasked with providing
leadership on the state level in advancing toward
ambitious new goals.
The American Dream is at risk. According to
a report by the 21st Century Commission for
Community Colleges, a highly educated population
is fundamental to economic growth and a vibrant
democracy, and community colleges can help
reclaim that dream. But stepping up to this challenge
will require dramatic redesign of these institutions,
their mission, and, most critically, their students’
educational experiences.
LBCC is stepping up to this challenge.

2012~A year of important firsts
for the Foundation
From receiving its first single private gift of $2 million,
to helping start a business that places the disabled in
employment, 2012 was a year of firsts for the LBCC
Foundation.
$2 million private gift Supports the
advanced transportation center
The LBCC Foundation received the largest single
private gift in the 45-year history of the college from
an anonymous donor.
The $2 million dollar donation is a matching gift to
support the construction and development of LBCC’s
new Advanced Transportation Technology Center.
LBCC finalized the purchase of an 11-acre site in
Lebanon that will become home to its auto and
diesel programs. The existing 35,000-square-foot
industrial building will provide space for hands-on
training in alternative fuel technologies, which include
compressed natural gas, propane, biofuel, hydrogen
fuel cell, and electric and hybrid technologies.
“We are humbled and very grateful for this historic
contribution,” said LBCC President Greg Hamann.
“Our donor was clear that this gift serve as an
inspiration for others to support the college, and this
contribution will help stimulate the support of others.”
Business start up loan supports both
community and college
A Corvallis job placement agency specializing in
finding employment for the disabled, including
individuals with autism and disabled veteran’s, is in
operation - thanks to a start up loan from the LBCC
Foundation. BlueSun Inc. has agreed to repay
the loan with interest and share revenues with the
Foundation as part of an agreement helping both
entities meet their missions. The Foundation used
funds generated from special events and investment
gains to make the loan.
“It’s creative, but not unusual, for Foundations to
look at ways to both support their communities
and generate revenue to support the college,” said
Foundation Executive Director Dale Stowell. “I’m
proud that we took this step, and are doing both of
those things.”
Charitable Gift Annuity
Foundation board member and retired LBCC faculty
member Rosemary Bennett led the way to a new
form of planned giving available at the Foundation by
establishing the first Charitable Gift Annuity through
the LBCC Foundation.
Charitable Gift Annuities are an investment option
that offers immediate tax benefits to the giver and
long-term support for the Foundation.
“A charitable gift annuity was a great way for me
to thank LBCC for its many years of educating our
community,” Bennett said.
For more information on Charitable Gift Annuities,
contact Jim Birken, Foundation Planned Giving
manager, at 541-917-4254.
The Education Endowment
In 2012, the Foundation adopted an ambitious
new goal: work toward providing 10 percent of the
college’s operating funding. That equates to about
$4 million per year.
To sustain a year-to-year contribution at that level will
require endowment support, which is a sum of money
invested to provide a regular return. Several donors
have already contributed. For more information on
endowments, call the Foundation at 541-917-4209.

The mighty oak tree was chosen as a symbol
of the LBCC Foundation to signify the strength
and achievements that grow from the strong
roots provided by education. The levels of giving
are denoted by the colors of oak tree varieties,
beginning with evergreen and progressing
through silver and golden oak.
The society designation symbolizes the
opportunity members have to help the college
enhance the educational future of the many LBCC
students in economic need. Contributions of
cash are cumulative toward higher levels, giving
donors the opportunity of reaching the silver or
golden oak levels of support for the
LBCC Foundation.

Benefits of
Scholarships
In 2012, the LBCC Foundation awarded more
than $241,000 in scholarships, grants and
awards to 224 students. For these students,
scholarships can mean the difference between
going to school full-time and having more time for
studies, or taking part-time classes and working
more or taking out student loans to cover expenses.
Mitchell and Matthew Grove, Sweet Home High
School graduates, and Libbie Kruger, West Albany
High School graduate, appreciate the flexibility that
Foundation scholarships have provided.
Mitchell and Matthew each received the Dan and
Daisy Ashton Scholarship. Mitchell also received
the Herb and Helen Hammond Scholarship and
the Stephen Towner Memorial Scholarship. Libbie
received the Gordon and Bea Decker Scholarship,
the Susan K. Liljeberg Memorial Scholarship, and
the Lance and Sheryl Caddy Nursing Scholarship.
“I am so grateful for the scholarships. I
was so excited when I got the scholarship
letter in the mail, I felt like a little kid!
I work part-time at Evergreen Hospice, and was
trying to figure out how to continue school and
pay for college without working more or taking out
loans. I was paying out of pocket, and had never
applied for a scholarship before. I decided to apply,
and was so glad I did. Without the scholarships, it
would have been hard for me to continue in the
nursing program.”
~ Libbie Kruger, Nursing
“The scholarship really helped me. I have a summer job,
and during the school year I take 19 credits each term. Without the
scholarship, I would not be able to take as many credits each term, and
would have to work throughout the school year to pay for my classes. The
scholarship allowed me to study and focus on school instead.”
~ Matthew Grove (left)
CNC Machinist, & Engineering
“Receiving these scholarships allowed me to focus on
school. I have a summer job, and that, along with the scholarships,
make it so I don’t have to worry about working during the school year.
They allowed me to go for the degrees that I wanted, and will help me to
continue my education at Oregon State University, something I might not
have been able to do without them.”

Mission
To advance and promote excellence at LBCC by providing
resources to support students, programs, services and capital
projects that are beyond the scope of the college general fund.
Years & Growing
The Linn-Benton Community College Foundation was formed in 1972, just five
years following the establishment of the college. The founding Board of Trustees
envisioned that private individuals and organizations would provide resources to support
students, programs, services and capital that would not otherwise be available.
The LBCC Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation that solicits, accepts, manages,
invests and distributes contributions for the betterment of the college and its students. Gifts
to the foundation qualify as charitable contributions for federal estate and gift tax purposes.
All Foundation Board
members and appropriate
college staff participate in
organizing and conducting
projects and other activities of
the Foundation. Examples of
projects and activities include:
golf tournament, annual
meeting, annual fund drive,
donor recognition events,
alumni support and friends
development.
Ways to Give
Find out more about the LBCC Foundation and “Ways to Give”
on our Web site at linnbenton.edu/foundation.
There you’ll find a gift calculator, our online donation process,
and other information about giving.
For a confidential appointment to explore giving opportunities, please

Foundation Staff:
Thank You!
The LBCC Foundation wishes to sincerely thank
all of the people who have made important
contributions not only through their financial
gifts, but through their time, talent and support
to the college. All of these gifts continue to play
important roles in the lives of our students.
Jim Birken, Planned Giving Manager
Paulette Myers, Foundation Coordinator
Donna Mainord, Systems Coordinator
