New Name… Same Mission!Indian River Community College is now Indian River State College!Indian River Community College Foundation is now Indian River State College Foundation!

These are exciting times…

In the past year, IRSC received baccalaureate-level accreditation and launched nine new Bachelor’s Degree programs. In June, Governor Charlie Crist signed a bill expanding access to Bachelor’s Degree opportunities and designating IRSC as one of nine colleges in the State College Pilot Project.

Keeping pace with the College, the IRSC Foundation is actively raising funds to support these new programs with faculty, increased library holdings, and scholarships. In 2007-2008, the IRSC Foundation provided more than $5.5 million to IRSC for enhanced facilities and instructional support, and $3.4 million to help hundreds of students through scholarships.

Your charitable gifts make a vital difference in how many students we are able to help, and we thank you for believing in the good work that IRSC is doing for our students and our community.On the following pages, we invite you to learn more about our successes and plans for upcoming initiatives.

Outstanding New Facilities for Our Community… Partners in Health—The Booth Foundation

Since 2003, Katherine and Alex Booth have provided millions of dollars in assistance to IRSC health science programs through scholarships, faculty support, equipment, and facilities.

More than 1,750 students will be helped by scholarships provided through the support of this generous couple. In addition, the Booth Foundation has provided funding for faculty, resulting in the addition of qualified instructors which makes it possible for more qualified students to graduate. Their support extends to facilities and equipment as well, and they most recently sponsored the Katherine Booth Nursing Lab in the Blackburn Educational Building.

As partners in health, the Booths focus on providing scholarships, faculty, facilities, and equipment to maximize the successful training of IRSC nursing students. The result? More highly-skilled nurses in our hospitals, nursing facilities, and medical offices!

“You changed my life!” is the sentiment expressed by Jennifer Newman, a student in the Medical Lab Technologies program, when she unexpectedly met Alex and Katherine Booth during their recent visit to IRSC.

Jennifer, the single parent of an 8-year-old, has always been interested in the medical field. Through a scholarship provided by the Booths, she was able to achieve her dreams of attaining a college education and becoming a role model for her son.

Brenda and Vernon Smith officially opened the doors to the area’s first medical college with the dedication of the Brenda and Vernon Smith Center for Medical Education, which houses the Florida State College of Medicine – Fort Pierce Regional Campus at IRSC. Located at IRSC’s Main Campus, this state of the art facility is also home to IRSC biotechnology programs.

Bringing the first conference facility to residents of Okeechobee, the Frank “Sonny” and Betty C. Williamson Conference and Education Center was dedicated on October 28. An exceptional venue for educational and community activities, the Williamson Center was constructed entirely with private gifts and state facilities matching funds.

Katherine and Alex Booth’s outstanding support helps to ease the shortage of nurses in our community.

The Blackburn Educational Building provides convenient neighborhood access to more than 20 college programs, career and technical training, and free adult education. Located in northwest Fort Pierce and named for David and Ursula Blackburn, the Blackburn Educational Building was dedicated on September 23. IRSC’s new facility also serves as a community center for meetings, after-school activities and community events.

Students preparing for careers in today’s workforce require high-tech training in state of the art facilities. Partnerships with area donors provide the additional technology and equipment found in IRSC educational centers. In Vero Beach, John and Kathi Schumann supported the Schumann Center, which is a one-stop center for student services and houses the College’s first-ever biology lab in Indian River County.

More than 3,400 deserving students were awarded scholarships through the IRSC Foundation in 2007-2008. This assistance helps students to overcome financial barriers and achieve their dreams. This, in turn, helps to improve our entire community.

One of IRSC’s new Bachelor’s Degree program students, Stephen Brancaccio, is pursuing a degree in Organizational Management. Married with one child, he is a recipient of one of IRSC Foundation’s Bachelor Degree scholarships. In 2007, 154 students received scholarships valued at $308,000 through this initiative.

On the Horizon…In keeping with the goal to establish the Treasure Coast as the “Research Coast,” IRSC is planning to construct the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Building at its St. Lucie West Campus.

Plans are also underway to construct the Center for Competitive Economics and Entrepreneurship, which will feature training in several high-need career fields.

In order to make these facilities a reality, the IRSC Foundation must raise $4 million or more. Every gift is important and the Foundation will seek a dollar-for-dollar match by the State of Florida. Permanent Naming Opportunities are available for both of these high-profile educational centers.

IRSC Foundation Helps to Bring New Facilities to our Community

Scheduled to be completed in summer of 2009, the 50-acre, seven building, state of the art Treasure Coast Public Safety Training Complex will be a national model for criminal justice, fire science, and human services training. Only a few naming opportunities remain.

Frank “Speedy” and LeVan Fee, along with Ann Decker, Jimmie Anne Haisley, and Steve Huntsberger tour the construction site of the Fee Physical and High Liability Training Building, one of the highly-equipped facilities at the training complex.

“The Lifelong Learning Institute at IRSC has truly been the highlight of my retired life.” J.F., Founding Member, LLI at IRSC

The Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) at IRSC is redefining life after 50 for a dynamic group of active adults returning to the IRSC college classroom. A year-round calendar of affordable and accessible non-college credit programs, special events, social programs, field trips, and even travel abroad demonstrate the incredible educational resource that is IRSC.
