Guests at the BCC Foundation’s Creating Opportunities Luncheon April 26 contributed a total of $194,920 to support student scholarships and extraordinary programs at the college. The total is 6 percent higher than the results from last year’s luncheon. More than 460 guests attended the event at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, who is a member of the BCC Foundation Board of Directors, emceed the program. Former Western Wireless Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Stanton gave the keynote address, discussing the economic opportunities in store for the Eastside. Foundation Scholarship recipients Lynn Frair and Elisa Jacobs shared their personal stories and gratitude with the assembled guests. BCC Pres. Jean Floten and BCC Foundation Pres. Don Grant also spoke. Led by Wells Fargo Bank as premier corporate sponsor, a total of 30 local businesses underwrote the entire luncheon, so that every dollar given by guests would go to support students and programs. “The outpouring of gifts by our luncheon guests will help us keep the doors of opportunity open to many students for whom higher education would otherwise be just a dream,” said Gaynor Hills, BCC Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the BCC Foundation. “Many of the donors are BCC faculty and staff, and I want to extend a special thanks to them folks for their generosity in going the extra mile for the college and its students." McKenna and Lisa Sims, also a member of the BCC Foundation Board, co-chaired the event. Since its inception the BCC Foundation has raised more than $20 million on behalf of Bellevue Community College. Through a combination of individual, foundation and corporate donations, the Foundation provides funding for scholarships, program enhancements and mini-grants for faculty and staff projects. |

BCC’s math students – the “Mathletes” – have placed seventh in the nation and second in the Northwest region in the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges’ 2006 Student Math League competition. It is the ninth time in the past 10 years that BCC’s math teams have placed in the top ten nationally and first or second regionally. The Northwest region includes Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
The national competition involved more than 10,000 students from 180 colleges. In individual results, Steven Kreiger placed fourth in the region and 26th in the nation. Hyung-Soo Zhang placed fifth in the region and 33rd in the nation. Douglas Sherbon, Paramjit Sandhu and Dong Won Kang placed ninth, tenth and eleventh in the region, respectively.
BCC President Jean Floten, Psychology Instructor Virginia Bridwell and student Daphne Ng all received awards from Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at its international convention in Seattle April 20-22.

Gordon Award of Distinction, recognizing her support of BCC’s Alpha Epsilon Rho chapter of PTK and her commitment to promote the society statewide and internationally. Virginia, faculty advisor to the Alpha Epsilon Rho chapter, received the regional Outstanding Service Award for her logistical work in support of the convention, and Daphne, who is the chapter's vice president for scholarship, was named Distinguished Chapter Officer for the region.

The chapter also was awarded renewed five-star status, signifiying the highest level of accomplishemnent.
Bulldog softball, tennis in first place
It’s been a great season so far for BCC Bulldog spring sports. The women’s softball team, with a 27-3 regional record, is in first place in the NWAACC’s (Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges’) seven-team North Region. The team, with its 33-5 overall record, also ranks fourth in the latest NWAACC coaches poll (which covers all 27 teams in the four NWAACC regions), the best showing ever for a BCC softball team.
Women’s tennis, undefeated at 8-0, is also in first place regionally and is ranked seventh in the entire league.
Men’s baseball, with a 15-5 league record, is in second place regionally and ranked seventh overall in the league.

The Center for Liberal Arts has scheduled two provocative lectures for the BCC community this quarter:
UW Philosophy Prof. Dr. William Talbott will discuss “The Evolution of a Constitutional Right to Liberty” on Thursday, May 18, at 12:30 p.m. in N-201. Dr. Talbott is the author of Which Rights Should Be Universal? (Oxford University Press, 2005) and is working currently on a second volume, Human Rights and Human Well-Being, to be published by Oxford Press later this year.
On Thurs., June 1, at 12:30 p.m. in N-201, the Center presents “A Reading and Discussion with Marjane Satrapi -- artist and author of Persepolis and Persepolis 2.” The Random House website calls the Persepolis books “a wise, funny and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Satrapi bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.” Satrapi’s appearance at BCC is cosponsored by the Washington Center for the Book at Seattle Public Library and BCC's Women’s Center.

They will appear first at The Triple Door jazz club in downtown Seattle from 7:30–10 p.m. May 23 (The Tiple Door is located at 216 Union St. (call (206) 838-4333 for reservations). Two weeks later, at 7:30 p.m. on June 8, the band will perform at Seattle's Tula’s jazz club (2214 2nd Ave.; call (206) 443-4221 for reservations).
Drawing on Hal's vast library of arrangements, the band performs music you won't hear from any other group in the area. The student musicians are some of the most talented young people in greater Seattle. Don’t miss this opportunity to see them at Seattle’s most popular jazz clubs.

The Employee Pluralism Committee has scheduled the next Beyond Diversity workshop for Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 13 and 14 (during Opening Week) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the East Shore Unitarian Church in Bellevue. Jamie Almanzán, from Glenn Singleton’s Pacific Educational Group, will lead this powerful, life-changing event, which is designed to help faculty, staff and administrators see themselves as racial beings and consider the implications of racism and prejudice on student learning. A key workshop outcome is an awareness of the degree to which racism and other diversity issues can be part of educational failure. Participants will explore strategies for identifying and addressing policies and practices that negatively impact student success. All employees are encouraged to attend. To reserve a seat, contact Juan Ulloa at X2487 or julloa@bcc.ctc.edu.

Players drafted right out of high school usually enroll at a community college, where the drafting team monitors their progress and decides whether to sign the player before the next year's draft.) The article went on to name first-year BCC pitcher Michael Lee, a 22nd-round NY Yankees draftee, one of ”Five NWAACC Players to Watch.” The Times also reported that former BCC pitcher Blake Hawksworth, who signed a $1.4 million contract with St. Louis in 2002 after just one year at BCC, has been hampered by injuries but is still in the Cardinals' farm system.
