investing in skills and student success
Bellevue College & Bellevue College Foundation
2009-10
AnnualReport
The pace of progress at Bellevue College is growing expo-
nentially as we continue to innovate and find new ways to
serve our communities.
We have swiftly expanded our baccalaureate curriculum,
launching a second bachelor’s degree program in January after
graduating our first class of 19 Radiation and Imaging Sciences
students last spring. Our new Bachelor of Applied Arts in Inte-
rior Design targets the documented need for well-rounded
design professionals who can create human-centered spaces
that are healthy, accessible and environmentally sustainable.
Anticipating that the state will authorize further bache-
lor’s degrees at Bellevue College, we earned accreditation as
a bachelor-degree granting institution this January from the
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, which
sets the quality and integrity standards for all four-year insti-
tutions in Washington and nearby states.
On another front, we are spearheading a rapidly acceler-
ating drive to develop the new field of health information
technology, which promises greater efficiency and economy
for the nation’s health record systems. We have accepted
leadership of a federally designated, ten-state Health Infor-
mation Technology Consortium, charged with expanding the
field through education and training. This pioneering role
builds on our success as
the national Biotechnol-
ogy Center of Excellence
through the Department of Labor, specializing in informatics,
and our recent state appointment to lead medical informatics
training development for Washington’s health IT workforce.
But our community needs still more from us. Employers
tell us the recession has intensified the need to reshape their
operations for success in a global, information-based econ-
omy, but in many fields, workforce skills are insufficient to
support a vigorous recovery. To bridge the gap, employers
and students alike are turning to two-year colleges, where the
most sought after skills are taught.
Our curriculum is already targeted on employers’ needs.
What we must do now is to increase graduation rates by clear-
ing the obstacles that bar so many students from completing
their programs.
We have, in fact, a comprehensive plan to do just that,
but we need your help to implement it. With state funding
woefully short, we have launched a $6.7 million fund-raising
program – the Advancing Student Success Campaign – to raise
the corporate and private gifts necessary to reach our gradu-
ation goals.
Now, more than ever, the region needs
Bellevue College as an educational resource
and an economic engine. I hope we can count
on your continued support as we seek higher
levels of accomplishment in serving our
community by Advancing Student Success.
Sincerely,
B. Jean Floten
“Now, more than ever, the region needs Bellevue College
as an educational resource and an economic engine.”
As each student succeeds, we add to our “winner’s triangle”
zz Students secure their own and their families’ futures –
and increase their contributions to society.
zz Local businesses are more productive – crucial to a solid
economic recovery.
zz Taxpayers save money, and quality of life rises, because
more educated communities experience less poverty
and crime.

Jean FlotenPresident
Bellevue CollegeBellevue College intends to boost
and ultimately double its student
success rate by:
zz Ensuring student achievement and
retention through academic support
programs and scholarships to help students
overcome barriers to completing their programs.
zz Supporting teaching excellence by
enabling faculty to develop new ways of
engaging students, particularly through
technology such as virtual reality software and
new communications channels.
zz Creating tomorrow’s classroom by
developing advanced learning environments
with the equipment and new technology now
being introduced into laboratories, research
centers and workplaces.
It’s a documented fact: Bellevue College generates an
ongoing return of about 22 percent yearly on each dollar “invested” by
donors and taxpayers, the result of increased tax revenues and lower
outlays for welfare, health, social programs and corrections.
Data from “The Economic Contribution of the Washington
Community & Technical College Districts,” CCbenefits, Inc., 2005.
Answer: Because through their achievement, we build our shared future
As neighbors, we all share the same economic future –
a future that depends to a great extent on education.
zz Only education can solve the “skills gap,” which for
the past decade has prevented regional employers from
finding enough workers with the skills they require, and
threatens the pace and extent of economic recovery.
zz Only education can endow the populace with the
advanced skills needed now to succeed in well-paying jobs
and secure their families’ futures.
But even education cannot help us if students are forced to
leave college prematurely.
That is why we have launched the $6.7 million Advancing
Student Success Campaign: to remove the obstacles that prevent
so many students from ever completing their education.
But we can’t do this alone. Please join us in building our
shared economic future, starting today, by supporting the
Advancing Student Success Campaign.

[The chance to do original genomics research at Bellevue College] “…has rekindled my passion for science and the human condition.”
~ Michelle Schut, Bellevue College student
Computer simulation sparks eagerness for learning
Helping students succeed in college takes more than finan-
cial support. It also requires engaging them intellectually, in
challenging and stimulating academic settings.
One such “high-impact” learning environment, found in
our Nursing program, is built around SimMan®, a comput-
erized, interactive, simulated patient who can talk, breathe
and generate heart, breath and other sounds in response to
students’ care.
Controlled by computer program or remotely by an instruc-
tor, SimMan® creates a “virtual reality” in which students
practice basic and advanced nursing procedures, from initial
assessment to safety and infection control, blood pressure and
pulse checks, IV and chest tube insertion, patient communica-
tion and team leadership.
“The computerized manikin brings every-
thing to life, you might say, because he is so
real in the way he responds to my treatment,”
said Jane Stensland, one of BC’s Nursing
students. “He makes learning here
far more exciting than I’ve
ever experienced
before.”
“It is your belief in me that has allowed me the strength to keep going.”
~ Minerva Mendoza, Bellevue College student and BC Foundation
Scholarship recipient
What’s the difference between a college dropout and a Columbia University student?
Answer: A Bellevue College Foundation scholarship
“I went to work right out of high school and thought my
chance to go to college would never happen. I am single. I
don’t have my parent’s assistance or the income of a partner
or husband. And life’s obstacles kept getting in the way.
“The most recent has been the challenge of breast cancer.
That vulnerability has given me the determination to see this
through, but it is your belief in me that has allowed me the
strength to keep going, even when I was too tired from work
or from chemotherapy.
“Because of my scholarship from the BC Foundation, I will
be able to pursue my dream of achieving a four-year degree.
I will be the first in my family to do so and I plan to achieve
it with honors.” ~ Minerva Mendoza, December 2009
Update: Columbia University has invited Minerva to apply to finish her bachelor’s degree there.
“The computer-ized mannikin brings everything to life, you might say, because he is so real in the way he responds to my treatment. He makes learning here far more exciting than I’ve ever experienced before.”
~ Jane Stensland, Bellevue College Nursing student
DNA research kindles passion for science
Michelle Schut grows excited when
she talks about her DNA-sequencing
class at Bellevue College, where she
and her fellow students are conduct-
ing original genomics research.
“This isn’t something I could do
anywhere else, and it’s a huge honor
to be part of it, because a good bit of
Washington’s economy could rely on
our findings someday,” she says.
Michelle and her classmates are
sequencing the DNA of a bacterium
– assigned by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture exclusively to Bellevue
College for research – that holds
potential to boost grain yields significantly.
“The experience has rekindled my passion for science and
the human condition” says Michelle, who is heading for a
career in nursing.
The course is the brainchild of BC instructor Dr. Gita
Bangera, who is another source of Michelle’s enthusiasm.
“Gita sets the bar really high,” Michelle says. “She doesn’t
spoon-feed us or hold our hands, because she truly believes
we all have the capacity to succeed.”

“The majority of our Radiation Therapist staff are Bellevue College graduates. That’s because they arrive fully prepared and ready for their work.”

1. Ensure student achievement and retention
…through academic support programs and scholar-
ships to help students overcome barriers to completing
their programs.
Funding Target: $2.5 million
zz $1,500,000 for scholarships, to create up to 35
new financial awards for low-income students
zz $500,000 for student services, to provide
academic and individual assistance to help new
students, veterans and at-risk individuals stay in
school and succeed
zz $500,000 for rapid intervention, to identify and
help at-risk students early enough to have an impact
that same quarter
2. Support teaching excellence…by enabling faculty to develop new ways of engaging
students, particularly through technology such as virtual
reality software and emerging communications channels.
Funding Target: $2.2 million
zz $1,200,000 for a Teaching and Learning Center,
to support faculty in responding to the changing land-
scape of education with new instructional methods and
application of new communications technology
zz $750,000 for developmental programs, to
enhance the preparation of students whose English
and mathematics skills are not yet strong enough to
support success at the college level
zz $250,000 for training in high-demand skills for
emerging industries, to support employers in green
energy, health care information technology and cyber-
security, among others
3. Create tomorrow’s classroom…by developing advanced learning environments with
the equipment and new technology now being introduced
into laboratories and research centers
Funding Target: $2 million
zz $1,100,000 for science equipment and build-
ing upgrades, to give students access to the same
sort of equipment they will find in the workplace
zz $900,000 for mentorships and special train-
ing programs, to prepare students for specific jobs by
providing experience in the workplace via internships
and mentoring by industry professionals
Real-world experience, such as Nikki Anderson’s internship at Mercedes Fernandez Interior Design (above) match student learning to the changing needs of employers.

When I was honored with the opportunity to serve as pres-
ident of the Bellevue College Foundation Board this year, I
responded eagerly. I know the crucial role our board plays in
connecting you and other caring individuals in our commu-
nity with meaningful opportunities to support the college’s
students and programs.
Your support of Bellevue College is more vital now than
ever, because higher education is the single most important
tool we have for overcoming the challenges that would other-
wise bar us from a bright and prosperous economic future.
Through higher education, we can bridge the widening gap
between the skills found today in Washington’s workforce and
what employers will actually need to take full advantage of an
economic recovery that leads to a competitive new economy.
Through higher education, we can offer individuals a
chance to acquire the new capabilities they will need to be
employable in this new economy, and to build financial secu-
rity for their families’ futures.
Education at the community college level is especially
crucial, because it is where the skills in greatest demand by
employers are taught.
Dear Friends of Bellevue College:
In view of that fact, Bellevue College has launched a
comprehensive effort to increase the flow of graduates into the
new economy of Washington. This effort removes the finan-
cial and academic obstacles that prevent so many students
from completing their studies.
We at the Foundation are supporting that critical undertak-
ing with our Advancing Student Success Campaign, through
which we are seeking the $6.7 million in corporate, founda-
tion, government and private gifts that the college needs to
implement its ambitious and urgently needed plan.
Half of our $6.7 million goal is already in hand, includ-
ing $1 million in gifts from the Foundation Board and our
campaign volunteers. Your generosity is essential to helping
us raise the remainder.
All of us at the Bellevue College Foundation deeply appre-
ciate everything you do to help Bellevue College, its students
and the greater community. Please consider a campaign gift as
your next contribution to our region’s well-being. I can’t think
of anything of greater importance right now to our shared
economic futures.
Sincerely,
Rob McKenna
President
Bellevue College Foundation Board of Directors
Washington State Attorney General
