BCC Foundation renews Mini-Grant program for employees
The BCC Foundation Board has announced the return of the Mini-Grants program to help support the goals of faculty and staff. The Foundation will award approximately 10 new Mini-Grants this fall in amounts of $300 to $3,000 for employee projects. Another round of approximately 10 Mini-Grants will be offered in spring 2005. Mini-Grants are designed to support activities that cannot be fully funded through other sources. Preference is given to projects that are consistent with the college's strategic plan as well as the President's and Foundation's priorities and goals. Grants can be for ongoing and one-time projects, or for seed money to start new programs. Project areas may include: professional development, instructional enhancements, community engagement and special priorities. Grants are available to all college employees except students. Applications for fall are due Oct. 22, 2004, and the funds will be available Nov. 29, 2004. Grant applications can be found in the Forms Library (on the Intranet) under Grants. For more information, please contact Lucinda Taylor, Administrative Assistant to the Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at X5074 or at ltaylor@bcc.ctc.edu.
Grant opens new opportunity for ESL students
A partnership between the Health Sciences, Education and Wellness Institute, ESL/ABE/GED and WorkFirst departments has resulted in the award of a $75,000 Integrated Basic Skills grant for an Integrated Basic Skills Nursing Assistant Certified Class for English as a Second Language students. This grant will fund an exceptional opportunity for students at ESL levels 4 and 5 to begin vocational training that is often not available to them because of language requirements. Students will receive ESL instruction while they train to become certified nursing assistants. They also will receive support to pass the certificate exam and help with finding jobs. The course is being planned for Winter quarter, 2005.
“When one person learns, everyone benefits!”
This is the theme for “Adult Literacy Week.” Gov. Locke has proclaimed Oct. 10-16 as a week to observe literacy issues and challenges of Washington state adult citizens. More than 477,000 adults in Washington do not have the necessary skills and education to lift themselves and their families out of poverty. Low or no literacy skills can prevent people from being able to help their children with homework, read instructions on medicine containers, read and understand apartment leases, get a better job, vote, and do other basic tasks. What can concerned citizens do? Support adult literacy and become involved by volunteering your time as a tutor; donating money, services and/or materials to non-profit literacy programs; and offering to pay for scholarships for basic skills students. For more information and other ideas visit Factoria Mall for their Literacy Fair on Oct. 9-10 and 16-17. For Fair details, contact the Volunteer Tutor Program at X2349 or Tess HelesHunt at theleshu@bcc.ctc.edu .
Quilt raffle to benefit basic literacy programs
| Did you know: More than 155,000 adults in King County cannot read above the fourth grade level? BCC is helping to meet the literacy needs of adult students on the Eastside through the Developmental Education program, which provides classes in adult basic skills, GED preparation and English as a second language. Supporting these efforts are the participants in the Volunteer Tutor Program, who tutor students in classrooms, in a multi-media language lab and in weekly Talk Time conversation sessions. The Volunteers also raise funds to support the program, and this fall theyare raffling off a beautiful quilt which was created by ESL students, | |
| volunteers, program faculty and staff. “Leaves for Literacy” raffle tickets are $2 and can be purchased through the Volunteer program at X2349. The quilt will be on display in BCC's cafeteria during Adult Literary Week, Oct. 11-15, and the drawing will be on Monday, Oct. 18 at noon in the cafeteria. For more information, contact Tess HelesHunt at theleshu@bcc.ctc.edu or visit the program office in R130V. To learn more about adult literacy issues and to find out other ways to get involved, visit the Volunteer Tutor Program booth at Factoria Mall's Literacy Fair, October 16 - 17. |  |

BCC Reads book announced; Faculty seminar offered
The BCC Reads selection for 2004-05 will be Julie Otsuka's novel, When the Emperor Was Divine, which tells one family's experiences during World War II Japanese-American internment. Sponsored by the Center for Liberal Arts, BCC Reads encourages the campus to read one book across disciplines and in as many classes as possible. The Center encourages you to include the book in classroom activities and can provide a number of interesting course development resources. Additionally this year, with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center is offering a related seminar for 15 faculty who want to deepen their own interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching skills on the topic of Japanese-American internment. For details and application information, contact Diane Douglas (ddouglas@bcc.ctc.edu ) at the Center for Liberal Arts.
$775,000 for Bioinformatics Center of Excellence
BCC has received a grant of $775,000 from the U.S. Department of Labor to help create a National Center for the Biotechnology Workforce. U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao identified BCC as one of “five premier community colleges,” and the only one in the Northwest, selected to establish the Center. BCC's specific contribution will be to develop a national Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics. A rapidly growing specialty within the field of biotechnology, bioinformatics uses information science and technology to manage and analyze the increasingly vast, complex body of life sciences data. Bioinformatics specialists are typically engaged in gene and molecular studies and in drug research and development, with new applications emerging in biomanufacturing and healthcare. In developing a Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics, BCC will create national skills standards in bioinformatics; design curriculum for college and high school use nationwide; provide faculty development; and offer classroom and on-line training. For more, read the news release at http://www.bcc.ctc.edu/news/releases/archives/2004/BioinformaticsGrant.asp.
BCC Cheer Squad takes top honors, holds fund-raiser
BCC's Cheer Squad won first place in the Fight Song competition, first in the Sideline Cheer competition, and second in the Cheer competition at the Universal Cheerleaders Association cheerleading camp at Eastern Washington University in August. In addition, the BCC squad received Superior ratings (the highest) on every evaluation they had the entire weekend. The 10-member squad, advised by Anne Taylor, also will be holding a fund-raiser in conjunction with Baja Fresh Mexican Grill (120 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue) on Saturday, Oct 2. If you eat at Baja Fresh that day and say you're supporting the BCC Cheer Squad, Baja Fresh will donate 15% of the proceeds from your meal to the squad.
Donors create new scholarships in nursing and broadcasting
Donors to the BCC Foundation have created two new scholarships for BCC students. Both will be awarded for the first time in Fall 2004. Sandusky Radio Group has established the Sandusky Radio Scholarship, which will assist students enrolled in BCC's radio broadcasting program and planning to pursue a career in this field. Sandusky Radio owns 10 radio stations across the U.S., including KWJZ (98.9 FM), KLSY (92.5 FM), KRWM (106.9 FM), KIXI (880 AM) and KKNW (1150 AM) in the Seattle area. The scholarship offers a $2,500 award to cover the cost of tuition, books and fees for one academic year. The Markie Miller Scholarship was created by the husband (Doug Miller) and family of the late Markie Miller, who worked in BCC's food services department for many years until she succumbed to pancreatic cancer. This need-based scholarship will support students working in the food services department as well as students in BCC's nursing program. Over the course of three years, the Markie Miller Scholarship will help six students achieve their educational goals, with awards of $2,100 each. The Bellevue Community College Foundation awards approximately 15 named, donor-funded scholarships to BCC students each year, plus up to 70 general BCC Foundation Scholarships funded by individual and corporate donors to its annual giving programs. A total of $78,000 in scholarship assistance was awarded by the Foundation during the 2003-2004 academic year.
New entrance signs to welcome visitors
New signs are on the way for BCC's entrances. Renovations of the signs at the north and south entrances and of the “readerboard” near the main entrance will happen first. A new sign at the main entrance is also planned, once the construction on 148th Street is completed. North Campus also is slated to receive new, more prominent signs on the building façade.
Summer and fall campaign markets BCC
The BCC summer and fall marketing campaign emphasized bold graphics, using the visual image from the Fall Credit Schedule as the central unifying theme. The Credit Schedule itself is direct-mailed to 180,000 addresses in our service area and distributed at drop-off locations around the Eastside. Posters also were distributed around the Eastside – the same “Sign Up For Classes Now” posters that are on bulletin boards around campus. Larger versions of the poster also have been placed in the renovated glass kiosks outside the Student Services Building and in the glass display cases inside the building. Print ads in such publications as Bellevue Reporter, Washington CEO, Puget Sound Business Journal and Colors Northwest gave BCC 225,000 positive impressions. The message was straightforward: “Sign Up For Classes Now,” with the slogan “Begin a Lifetime of Opportunity” or, in the case of strictly Eastside publications, “BCC, The Eastside's College.” BCC also ran a flight of radio ads on 107.7 The End – the most popular station with BCC students – reaching a potential 290,000 listeners. In addition, the college sent reminder postcards to a targeted group of recently enrolled students and a reminder e-postcard to 11,000 “repeat customers” in Continuing Ed. In addition to these activities, a weekly half-page “Spotlight on BCC” advertorial highlighting BCC programs appeared in the King County Journal throughout the summer. “Spotlight on BCC” continues this fall, featuring BCC Athletics each Friday. If you have marketing suggestions, send them to Bart Becker in Institutional Advancement (bbecker@bcc.ctc.edu).

| • | Attention all campus marketers. Marketing Director Bart Becker would like to hear from you if you do any of your program's marketing-related activities throughout the year, either directly to students, to specific audiences or to the broader community: creating flyers, posters or brochures; planning and hosting events; attending community festivals; mailing out materials to prospective students or community members; or talking directly to students. The goal is for all BCC employees to be ambassadors for the college with a consistent message and image. Marketing has many materials available for your use, such as BCC banners or table skirts and general BCC brochures. Marketing can also provide direction on other topics such as appropriate use of the logo (and where to find versions of the logo for downloading), or where to find photos for use in flyers or brochures. Bart plans to host a meeting in a few weeks where folks can hear about marketing activities and discuss common issues. To be involved, email Bart Becker a bbecker@bcc.ctc.edu or call him at X2810. |
