ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2011 CHANGING LIVES
annual RepoRt to the community 2011
Changing lives
Monterey Peninsula College is committed to fostering student learning and success by providing excellence in instructional programs, facilities, and services to support the goals of students pursuing transfer, career, basic skills, and life-long learning opportunities. Through these efforts, MPC seeks to enhance the intellectual, cultural, and economic vitality of our diverse community.
These words sound like an advertisement tagline, a branding slogan that sums up the tone and
premise of a brand or product. The most successful examples genuinely reflect a producer’s
commitment to quality. I believe the theme of the 2O11 Annual Report captures the essence and
character of your community college, Monterey Peninsula College. This report shares insight
into many examples of how we have committed our efforts to provide positive change for our
students and the communities in which they live.
This commitment is the base of our Mission Statement.
Pursuit of this mission requires a commitment to recruiting and retaining highly qualified and
diverse faculty and staff, providing safe, well-equipped facilities, and fostering a culture of
collaboration to promote and achieve student success. These values guide our decisions,
even in difficult economic times.
The Annual Report offers student success stories, descriptions of featured academic programs,
an update on our successful construction program, and insight into the marvelous support
provided by the MPC Foundation.
As we enter the 2O12 academic year, our tagline can be revised - MPC: Changing Lives for
65 Years. Since 1947, MPC has served the families and businesses in our region through our
commitment to quality. Thank you for supporting MPC in this investment in our communities.

Anthropology: SuPPORTIng gIbbOn COnSeRvATIOn And dOIng AnThROPOLOgY
elias Kary, Anthropology Instructor, infuses the Anthropology program with service learning and practical experience in the field. his relationship with the gibbon Conservation Center in Santa Clarita, California provides students with hands-on experience by building primate habitats for endangered apes. Students combine their acquired knowledge with a research component by relating primate behavior to materials housed in MPC’s Anthropology Laboratory. The results are then shared with the broader community of anthropology students at the college.
the educAtion center At MArinA: ChAngIng LIveS
MPC celebrated the grand opening of its new education Center at Marina on September 23, 2O11. The new eight-classroom, 12,OOO square-foot facility on Imjin Parkway and 3rd Street is now serving students as a gateway center in Marina. Classes are offered at the center six days and four evenings each week during fall, spring, and summer terms. Classes include english, math, english as a second language, business and business skills (self-paced computer training), history, psychology, speech communication, philosophy, art history, music anatomy, geology, child development, administration of justice, medical terminology and health careers, and a variety of fitness and dance classes. An awareness of and an interest in this center continues to grow; the center is currently serving over one thousand students.
creAtive Writing: enRIChIng WRITeRS And ReAdeRS
The Creative Writing Program, directed by henry Marchand, provides students and community members alike with enriching opportunities to write and discover more about the writing process. In Fall 2O11, students submitted poems, fiction, and narrative nonfiction writing to student editors, members of the Creative Writing Club of MPC, who juried the writing and ultimately published the second issue of The MPC Literary Magazine. In March 2O11, award-winning memoirist and fiction writer Peter Chilson came to MPC to meet with writing-inclined students, and for a public reading in the Sam Karas Room. At this sold-out guest Authors Series event, Chilson read an account of his sometimes perilous work as a teacher living in niger, West Africa and of his encounters with the nation’s volatile dictator. A lively discussion followed.
eArth Science in living colorbRIngIng The eARTh TO The CLASSROOM
The earth Science Program, directed by dr. Fred hochstaedter, emphasizes field-oriented instruction. Each class takes field trips every
semester to see the earth and ocean in action. In the classroom, students view computer-aided representations of the kinds of things they would
see in the field. The department has produced several gigapans: high-resolution, zoom-able photographs that show both the geographic
context and details of rock outcrops and landscapes. In Oceanography, Fred developed google earth animations of oceanographic conditions
such as atmospheric pressure, sea surface temperature, winds, and ocean currents to demonstrate how these processes are interconnected.
This effort supports Oceanography’s ocean drifter project where an oceanic drifter is released into the ocean to study ocean currents.
delightful hoSpitAlity TRAINING THE PENINSULA’S LEAdING INdUSTRY
hospitality, culinary and pastry students volunteer countless hours to enrich their education for numerous MPC events including the Alumni
Association and the MPC Foundation’s Celebration of Philanthropy. They partner with Monterey’s American Culinary Federation on annual
events: Christmas dinner benefiting the Food Bank for Monterey County, Cherry’s Jubilee, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for
Solutions. MPC’s chef instructors, Paul Lee and Andre Adam are proud to see their students bridge the gap from school to industry experience.

dr. Judee Timm’s instruction reflects a passion for learning about international business and cultures. her experiences as co-founder of the Journal for Global Business Education and past international
editor for the business education Forum, have encouraged efforts in student engagement. Students enrolled in the International
business Program and courses create team blogs on country research and participate in cultural simulations. dr. Timm’s recent business
exploration travels to Singapore, Malaysia, and India were blogged and shared with her students and colleagues during the course of each
visit (Check out www.jtimm.tumblr.com).

damanjit (dJ) Singh, who oversees MPC’s Computer Networking Program, helps students develop the skills needed to pass the internationally acclaimed CCNA and Security+ certifications. MPC networking students are eligible to participate in paid summer internships with prestigious technology companies such as Cisco, naval Postgraduate School, Monterey County and AMS.net. The internship experience is showcased in a symposium allowing mentors, senior management from sponsor organizations, and prospective employers to share student presentations. Last year, several MPC students were hired at the symposium!

James Lawrence, MPC Auto Technology Instructor, oversees an annual high school event that challenges competitors to demonstrate their automotive repair abilities. In addition to strengthening relationships with local high schools, the competition has also proven to be an effective outreach. Many students who would not otherwise attend college have been informed and inspired by this event. As such, the Automotive Technology Program has become extremely popular and a high percentage of graduates are finding local employment.

leave feeling like a better teacher; I come away with many new ideas and a renewed enthusiasm for teaching. This

“As a full-time supportive service student, receiving this scholarship award will help me through the final push of my time here
at MPC. This semester will be my last semester with MPC before heading off to CSUMB to complete my educational goal in
Kinesiology, which is very exciting! On the other hand, it saddens me to leave such a supportive campus. Knowing the available
resources here that have helped me as a single mother and a re-entry student with supportive services guiding me each step of the

Measure i uPDateMeasure I, MPC’s $145 million facilities bond approved by the voters in november 2OO2, ushered in a renovation and construction program that has transformed the Monterey campus and created an educational center in Marina and Seaside. during the past nine years, several new facilities were constructed, classrooms have been modernized and upgraded, aging utility systems replaced, and pedestrian walkway, lighting, and landscaping improvements have made the Monterey campus more inviting and accessible for students. With the addition of the new education Center at Marina facilities, MPC is a place where students from all areas of the Peninsula can change their lives. Featured below are bond projects completed or underway in 2O11.
ProjeCtsCoMPleteD in 2011BuSineSS, MAth, AndcoMputer Science BuildingOriginally built in 1967, this building was completely remodeled and refurbished. Former office space was used to create a math learning center and add new classrooms dedicated to math. business and computer science
classrooms and labs were updated to provide students with a modern and attractive learning environment. All business and technology faculty offices as well as the division office are now located together in the building. Renovation was
completed in March 2O11.
Student ServiceS BuildingConstruction of the new facility was completed in March 2O11, with the grand opening celebrated on May 24, 2O11. The new building has allowed the consolidation of admissions, financial aid, counseling, health services, eOPS, supportive services, TRiO, matriculation, and assessment at one location, creating a one-stop center for student services on campus.
educAtion center At MArinAThe new center opened to students fall semester 2O11, with a grand opening for the community on September 23, 2O11. built on land conveyed to MPC after the Fort Ord base closure, the Marina Education Center fulfills a longtime district goal to reestablish its instructional programs in this area for residents in the northern part of MPC’s district. The center serves as a gateway to higher education and has been designed to be inviting and approachable in its scale. Four buildings were constructed, offering 7 classrooms and labs, a large multipurpose space, administrative offices, and study areas. Sustainable building design strategies were used. A special architectural feature of the center is its wind turbine. In december 2O11, the center’s design was recognized by the American Institute of Architects, Monterey bay Chapter, with an award to the project architect, hghb. In fall 2O11, over 1,OOO students were enrolled in Marina classes.
generAl clASSrooM BuildingThe general classroom building was remodeled during the summer of 2O11 to provide interim laboratory space while the life science building is undergoing renovation. Former lecture classrooms were outfitted with furniture and equipment moved from the life science building to create labs where faculty could continue to offer their students a hands-on learning experience without compromise. After the life science building renovation is completed, the general classroom labs will be used for physical science courses when the physical science building upgrade begins in fall 2O12.

“Taking demanding courses such as engineering statics, electromagnetism physics, and computer
programming, only affords me the option to work part-time so the scholarship was a significant and
welcome blessing. Thanks to my experience at MPC, as well as some hard work, I now have a decent
possibility of attending MIT, Cornell, UC Berkeley, or other top-tier schools.”andrew cunningham

This report outlines in more detail the specifics of our work done with you, members of the community. From financial assistance for students to professional development for faculty and staff, to upgrading equipment and online resources, to growing the endowment and ensuring ongoing financial support, our joint efforts support MPC and its students.
With cuts in state funding for higher education, our work is not done and in fact, it will increase in 2012. We hope you share our pride in what was accomplished this year and we look forward to working with you in building on what we have started. Thank you for being our partners in providing educational opportunities that change lives.

The newest inductee in the MPC Lobo hall of Fame has spent the better part of 3O years spanning the globe as an industrial designer and corporate design chief. When asked to define an industrial designer, Frank replies, “Part inventor, part engineer, part artist, part communicator, part brand builder, and a very large part dreamer.” his description is apt, as he is largely responsible for building brands like nokia and vertu and designing many of the products we rely on every day, including cell phones, stereo systems, furniture, computers, planes, trains and automobiles! Frank credits MPC for exciting his interest in new and emerging technologies: “For me, MPC was the hard reboot of my brain—a real beginning for exploration and discovery. MPC allowed me to maintain a creative spirit and become a professional dreamer – a spirit that was critical to success with my career.” As an MPC student, Frank studied art, art history, music theory, science, and other academic courses that enabled him to pursue a unique professional path. As a result, Frank was able to build the art portfolio required for acceptance to the Art Center College of design in Pasadena. Without MPC, Frank claims that acceptance to and success at the Art Center may not have been easily possible: “I found my way while at MPC. Poetically speaking, my work in design has enjoyed a global footprint literally traveling many millions of miles. but the footpath through the forest I walked and rode through here in Monterey, and in particular to MPC, is one that I reflect on more than anything. It made me a Monterey community boy regardless of where I am, and that made all the difference.”

“Thanks to our clinical simulation grant, the faculty at the
school of nursing are able to provide our students with a more
realistic clinical experience; allowing them to assess emerging
medical conditions and react with nursing interventions
appropriate to the situation presented. The software and
touch screen technology that we purchased with the grant
allows the faculty to change the mannequins’ physiology
quickly and confidently, thereby providing the faculty with
more time to focus on what is most important in the simulation
lab, guiding the practice of nursing students to become safe
and effective practitioners.”cheryl Jacobson, Director

Mpc fAculty deSignAted Student ScholArShipS beginning in 2O1O, faculty members were asked to name a returning student of exceptional promise who it is believed to have financial need to receive a scholarship from this program. The intent is to give faculty a financial resource to help and honor outstanding students of need with whom they have worked. understanding that faculty knows their students best, this program relies on the relationships between faculty and students. Funded by membership dues of the President’s Circle, 24 MPC Faculty designated Student scholarships of $1,OOO were awarded to Monterey Peninsula College students in 2O11.
Book AWArdSTextbooks are expensive for many of our students and in some cases the costs prevent them from taking needed classes. Since 2O1O, the MPC Foundation has awarded $16,OOO to Student Services in support of textbook purchases for the Textbook Loan Program administered through the Re-entry and Multicultural Center. Simply put, this program has made college possible for many of our students. This program is funded by the President’s Circle membership dues.
fAculty And StAff AdvAnceMent AWArdSIn 2011, the MPC Foundation distributed $54,OOO in grants through its Faculty and Staff Advancement Awards. These funds enabled 52 faculty and staff members to take advantage of professional development through conference attendance and training or the upgrading and purchasing of much-needed classroom equipment. The Foundation increased its funding in this area as professional development and instructional materials have almost been completely eliminated from the college budget due to state budget cuts. President’s Circle dues and a $5,OOO grant from the Sarlo Foundation fund this program.
inStructionAl MAteriAlSdue to the success of the President’s Circle campaign, the Foundation was able to allocate an additional $4O,OOO of unrestricted funding to instructional materials for the college.
Andrew Young, a native of Monterey, came to MPC with a less than stellar grade point average. In 2OO9-1O, Andrew attended Cabrillo College to play basketball; he earned a 1.6 gPA. he then chose to transfer to MPC after connecting with Coach Blake Spiering and the MPC men’s basketball team. Andrew became determined and focused, earning a 3.7 GPA. In 2O12 he was selected to the All-State Team for California Community Colleges and led the state in rebounds and scoring. Graduating this spring with an Associate’s degree in General Studies with an emphasis in Social Sciences, Andrew was being recruited by multiple division I universities including university of Oregon, Stanford, Texas A & M, Cincinnati, and north Carolina State but has commited to Texas A & M.

“MPC provided me an opportunity to blossom and extra time to find my center. From there I had several opportunities that would not have existed without MPC, including a scholarship to Long Beach State University and a career in professional sports.”

“The REMC Textbook Loan Program was a godsend for me. Due to my earnings in 2011, I didn’t qualify for any financial aid; however, I had just lost my job a few months back, with the only source of funds for MPC being a small unemployment check every two weeks. The Textbook Loan Program allowed me to have the books I needed for the classes I registered in. I don’t know what I would have done without it, as I was basically out of cash and couldn’t qualify for any type of loan. I hope you continue this program in the future. I know it will continue to bless those students who are struggling financially!”
