Center (ITC).

PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2

Return on InvestmentDelaware Tech’s impact on the economy is most prevalent

in our capacity to address workforce needs by supplying

educated workers to business and industry for high-demand,

high-paying occupations in the state. Each year, students

leave the College and join or rejoin the state’s workforce with

added skills that translate to higher income and a more robust

Delaware economy. Based on current enrollment, turnover,

and the growth of instruction over time, it is estimated that the

state’s workforce has accumulated 4.6 million credits of past

and present Delaware Tech instruction. According to a recent

Socioeconomic Impact Study conducted by an independent

economic impact modeling firm, the contribution of these

skills adds nearly $1.7 billion in income to the current state

economy. This impact has grown since the study

was conducted.

The College creates state income through the earnings of its

faculty and staff, as well as through its own operating and

capital expenditures. Adjusting for taxes and other monies

withdrawn from the state economy in support of Delaware

Tech, it is estimated that the present-day State of Delaware

economy receives roughly $61.1 million in labor and non-labor

income each year due to the College’s operations and

capital spending.

Students enjoy an attractive 22% annual return on their

investment of time and money in the College. For every $1

students invest in Delaware Tech, they receive a cumulative

$6.40 in higher future earnings over the course of their

working careers.

About four percent of the College’s students come from

outside the state to attend Delaware Tech. These students

spend money to buy books and supplies, rent apartments,

purchase food, pay for transportation, attend sports events,

and much more. It is estimated that the spending of these

out-of-state students generates approximately $1.9 million

each year in income for the state.

The State of Delaware also benefits from improved health and reduced welfare, unemployment, and crime, saving the public nearly $5.8 million per year each year that the students are in the workforce. From a cost/ benefit ratio, every dollar of state money invested in Delaware Tech returns $2.90.*

In summary, the Delaware economy receives roughly $1.8

billion in income each year due to Delaware Tech and its

students—a figure that amounts to roughly 4.1% of the

state’s total annual income.

Articulation AgreementsDelaware Technical Community College collaborates

with other institutions of higher education to remain

accountable to our students and our commitment to

their academic and professional success.

The College has established over 133 articulation agreements

that connect Delaware Tech’s associate degree programs

with baccalaureate programs to create smooth transfer

opportunities. These agreements offer clear and economical

pathways to high quality educational attainment through

partnerships with four-year institutions. The College maintains

a total of 36 agreements with the University of Delaware and

Delaware State University, and that number is growing.

These agreements result in many economic benefits — to

both the students and the state — including opportunities

for Delawareans to pay lower tuition for the first two years

toward a bachelor’s degree and significant economic benefits

that come from residents earning higher salaries connected to

associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, and advanced degrees.

Connecting Delawareans with JobsDelaware Tech recently created new programs of study to connect Delawareans with jobs in high-demand fields like energy, healthcare, and food safety.

Renewable Energy – Solar: Delaware Tech responded to

recent advancements in solar technology and greater financial

incentives by creating a program to prepare students to sell

and install photovoltaic and solar thermal hot water systems.

Graduates are also equipped with the knowledge and skills

to perform site design of these systems.

Energy Management: Given rising energy costs, the risk

of vulnerability with foreign oil, and the problems fossil fuel

creates for the environment and our health, the role energy

plays in our society has never been more important. Energy

management professionals are in high demand, and the

College’s new program provides courses in residential and

commercial energy use and analysis, energy efficiency and

investment, and alternative energy technologies.

Information Security: There is a growing need for securing

cyberspace infrastructure, and Delaware Tech’s information

security degree provides students with the skills to build and

maintain secure networks, diagnose and resolve vulnerabilities,

implement security policies, and manage operating systems.

Computing & Information Science: Students who

complete this associate degree program can make a seamless

transition to a four-year program at the University of Delaware

or Delaware State University or make the choice to enter the

field upon graduation with the knowledge and skills to work in

computer support or web and server-side programming.

Health Information Management (HIM): New federal

laws requiring the development of health information

networks and the use of electronic health records are driving

the need for credentialed information managers. Delaware

Tech’s HIM degree prepares students to meet the rapidly

growing need for professionals who can create and

maintain electronic health records.

Food Safety: Foodborne diseases and threats to food safety

constitute a growing public health program, and graduates of

the College’s new Food Safety program are well prepared for

careers in the food processing industry or government food-

testing laboratories for regulatory agencies such as the USDA.

45 Years of

DELAWARE TECH HAS ALIGNED ITS JOBS PLAN WITH THE GOVERNOR’S ECONOMIC GOALS, PRODUCING POSITIVE RESULTS FOR THE STATE’S ECONOMY. THERE ARE JOBS AVAILABLE, AND THE COLLEGE IS PUTTING DELAWAREANS TO WORK

of preventing, assessing, and managing environmental issues.

Direct Support Professional: Students in this certificate

program learn how to provide individuals with disabilities

who live in their own homes support in daily living tasks,

community living, health and wellness awareness, vocational

experiences, and social integration. Today, unlike in the past,

most people with disabilities live in their home communities

and thrive thanks to direct support professionals.

Career and Customized Training Delaware Tech’s Corporate and Community

Programs (CCP) Division provides short-term and

customized training programs designed to expand

opportunities for businesses throughout the state

and improve the performance and productivity

of their employees. CCP is staffed with highly

diversified professionals, each with many years of

experience in his or her respective field. Businesses

take advantage of the variety of training programs

offered each semester at campuses statewide, or

the College creates customized training to meet

an organization’s specific needs.

International EducationDelaware Tech’s International Education Program promotes international

awareness and global understanding among students, faculty, and community

members. The College offers study abroad programs, hosts student and faculty

visits, and provides events promoting global engagement and understanding.

To further integrate international education into our programs, we make

significant efforts to promote cross cultural collaboration, as well as to

internationalize the curriculum for all students.

Recent study abroad programs have included culinary arts in Italy, art history

in France, criminal justice in Scotland, and cultural immersion trips to Russia,

China, and Spain. Nursing students travelled to Belize and provided screenings

and help with physical therapy to over 200 villagers. Students also were able to

watch their instructor, who is a nurse practitioner, work alongside a physician

diagnosing and treating patients, which gave them a first-hand look at the

versatility of the profession.

Study abroad and cross-cultural exchange are proven ways to enhance communication, critical thinking skills, adaptability to different environments, and foreign language proficiency — all skills that can make our students more competitive in the 21st century job market.

Global Understanding SeriesThe College’s Global Understanding Series, offered at campuses statewide,

features programs and workshops free to the community, as well as Delaware

Tech students and staff. Global Voices presentations provide a personal

perspective on global issues, region, culture, or people. Postcards from Abroad

programs are presented by the College’s staff, students from different cultures,

or students who have participated in previous study abroad programs.

The series also includes interactive workshops to teach skills for use in the

international community and culture and arts presentations that immerse

participants in dancing, cooking, traditional dress, or theater.

SEVERAL MAJOR INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED AT DELAWARE TECH IN RECENT YEARS TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN PEOPLE FOR EMERGING WORKFORCE DEMANDS, MAKE OUR FACILITIES MORE ENERGY

EFFICIENT, LEVERAGE LABOR MARKET RESEARCH, AND IMPROVE STUDENT COMPLETION RATES.

Advancing Key Initiatives

Energy EducationDelaware Technical Community College was awarded

$4,297,800 in grants in 2009-10 by the Economic Development

Administration (EDA) to build energy education facilities at the

College’s Owens, Terry, and Stanton campuses. The funding

allowed for the construction of a statewide learning system

that will serve as the region’s first comprehensive workforce

development center to support a growing green economy.

Owens Campus: Energy House Delaware Tech’s Energy House at the Owens Campus in

Georgetown was awarded LEED Platinum certification by the

United States Green Building Council, the highest level of LEED

certification available. LEED, which stands for Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design, recognizes practical and

measurable green building design, construction, operations,

and maintenance solutions. Just 71 institutions of higher

education in the U.S. have a LEED Platinum building on their

campus, and only 11 of those are community colleges.

Energy House is a home constructed on the campus that

serves as an educational lab facility to teach students about

innovative energy-efficient and renewable technology and

materials. The facility houses a state-of-the-art, hands-on

learning environment containing two classrooms, a conference

room, and wall galleries of the technologies and materials

used. Included in the design of the building are solar systems,

wind generation equipment, a living green roof, radiant floor

heating, geothermal options, and examples of efficiency in

construction and appliance usage. Delaware Tech uses the

facility for the College’s two-year associate degree in Energy

Management. Energy House is also open for public tours to

provide consumer education for the community.

Terry Campus: The Center for Energy Education and Training The Center for Energy Education and Training at the Terry Campus

in Dover is a 7,500 square foot addition to the existing Terry

Campus Corporate Training Center. The facility consists of state-

of-the-art classrooms, labs, and a conference auditorium and will

house the new Delaware Tech Energy Management Program. The

center will be used for commercial energy management education

and training.

Students and the community-at-large will have the

opportunity to experience the value of renewable energy

options such as solar, passive solar, geothermal, and related

technologies. The Center will provide students and the existing

workforce with the education needed to pursue a career in

emerging green industries. The building will be complete by

fall 2012 and has been designed and built according to LEED

standards in pursuit of achieving LEED Platinum Certification.

Stanton Campus: The Sustainable Energy Training Center

The Sustainable Energy Training Center planned for the Stanton

Campus will be 6,000 square feet, also being built in accordance

with LEED Certification standards. The Center, an education

facility for commercial energy management education and

training, will consist of three state-of-the-art classrooms, four

interactive labs, and a multi-purpose room capable of hosting

community workshops.

Equipped with solar systems, wind generation equipment,

and geothermal options, the Center will provide students with a

hands-on learning environment, which demonstrates, as well as

operates under the latest in sustainable energy technology. The use

of multiple systems in one facility provides valuable comparison

data for learning and applied research. In addition to being home

to students pursuing the College’s Energy Management associate

degree, it will provide non-credit workshops, conferences, and

company-specific training. The College will also invite members of

the community to see and understand the practical applications of

renewable energy technologies in the Center.

45 Years of Advancing K

ey InitiativesGoing GreenDuring 2010, the College developed a

Sustainable Energy Management Plan

(SEMP) that will reduce our conventional

energy use 20% by the year 2020, and reduce

our carbon footprint by 20%. Initial steps

included entering into two agreements that

will increase the College’s use of renewable

energy sources and improve the energy

efficiency of our existing facilities.

Delaware Tech entered into a Power Purchase Agreement at the end of 2010 with Perpetual Standard Solar to install 1.9 mw of solar panels at its campuses statewide, which will produce 12% of the College’s energy via solar while saving over $1.1 million during the next 20 years.

During 2011, the College conducted

Investment Grade Energy Audits of our

facilities statewide. These audits identified

$7 million in energy conservation measures

that, once implemented, would produce

over $5 million in energy savings during

the next 15 years. In order to ensure these

results, the College entered into a Guaranteed

Energy Savings Agreement with Pepco

Energy Services, who is both constructing the

energy savings projects and guaranteeing

the savings will take place. The measures

involve making changes to lighting, heating

and air conditioning systems, boilers, and

other equipment at each campus and were

financed as part of the Delaware’s Sustainable

Energy Utility’s initial bond sale during 2011.

Delaware Tech is proud to be serving as a

leader in the area of energy sustainability.

Only 108 campuses of the 1,177 public and

independent community colleges have

established robust action plans to manage

their energy systems and reduce their climate

impact. Among these, only 18 institutions

have plans that approximate the College’s

commitment to a 20% or more reduction

in fossil energy use and greenhouse gas

emissions over the next 10 years. Thus,

Delaware Tech is at the forefront of the

green campus movement in the United

States, ranking among the top one percent.

Additional green initiatives include recycling

at every campus and appointing employee

energy rangers to identify and report

conservation issues. The College also offers

training in energy-efficient manufacturing

and associate degree programs in renewable

energy solar, sustainable landscaping, and

energy management.


Center of Industry Research and Workforce AlignmentDelaware Tech’s mission of workforce preparation has always made

understanding labor market needs important. Now, when traditional industries

are dramatically changing and economic uncertainties are greater, the ability to

quickly and accurately identify new opportunities and educate the workforce

for business creation, expansion, and attraction is critical. That is why Delaware

Tech has established a new workforce and labor market information center

modeled after the California “Centers of Excellence,” or COEs.

While economic forecasts and workforce trend analyses are routinely

conducted by federal and state agencies and private entities, these reports

have not proven to be integrated, comprehensive, or specific enough to

guide educational program development. The COE model, on the other hand,

produces industry-validated environmental scan and labor market reports on

current and, most importantly, future labor market opportunities and needs.

These reports take into account emerging social, technological, political, and legal change. They “map the gap” between projected workforce demand and what colleges are supplying. They serve as roadmaps for colleges beginning or revising programs, winning grants, and leveraging resources with their industry, workforce and economic development partners to prepare students for high-growth, high-demand jobs with potential for upward career mobility.

The new center at Delaware Tech, which is called the Center for Industry

Research and Workforce Alignment (CIRWA), will play an important role

as a communication hub to catalyze and leverage partnerships between

government agencies, research organizations, technology-based economic

development initiatives, and workforce education. This important program

allows us to grow — not just respond to — Delaware’s expanding and

evolving labor market.

Student Completion National Call to ActionIn the spring of 2011, Delaware Tech committed to the

National Call to Action, an effort that challenges every

community college to raise its graduation rates by 50%

by 2020. The challenge, which was issued by the American

Association of Community Colleges, involves incorporating

a variety of strategies to support students in completing

their degrees and certifications.

The commitment has involved examining policies, practices,

and the College’s institutional culture to identify areas that

can have an impact on student success. Administrators,

faculty, and staff have worked across campuses, divisions, and

departments at an unprecedented level to align programs,

operations, and services in order to progress toward this very

important goal. The College’s initial efforts have focused on

three major themes — Acceleration and Flexibility, Student

Engagement, and Developmental Education.

The initiatives highlighted are just a few of the new

strategies Delaware Tech has in place to support student

success and meet the Call to Action commitment. Through

aggressive institutional assessment and national research of

best practices, the College continues to improve practices

to increase student completion.

45 Years of

DELAWARE TECH MAINTAINS KEY PARTNERSHIPS BY WORKING TOGETHER WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT, OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION,

AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO CONNECT DELAWAREANS WITH JOBS.

Leveraging Partnerships

Congressional SupportIn the fall of 2011, Delaware Tech was awarded a $4.9 million

U.S. Department of Labor Grant to help connect Delawareans

with jobs. The grant was the result of the U.S. Department of

Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and

Career Training (TAACCCT) initiative. The College received the

full amount requested during the application process.

This funding will help connect Delawareans with jobs by supporting the College’s efforts to:

» build programs that meet industry needs

» accelerate student progress

» reduce time to completion

» strengthen online and technology-enabled learning

The College is grateful for the partners who helped make the

grant possible, including Delaware’s Congressional Delegation.

Senator Carper, Senator Coons, and Congressman Carney

worked to secure this much needed federal funding in support

of Delaware Tech’s mission. Business owners and community

leaders also contributed to the effort, helping the College

identify the relevant academic programs and initiatives that

the grant supports.

“This grant will help provide the resources we need to build a well-educated

work force for the future of our economy in Delaware and the region. We

have motivated, skilled workers in Delaware and this grant will help put

them back to work.”

– Thomas R. Carper, United States Senator, Delaware

“I am extremely proud of Delaware Tech for taking the lead on this initiative to provide

access to training that will translate into high-wage, high-skill jobs. Creating jobs is my

top priority. The key to reviving and strengthening the American economy lies in building

a well-educated workforce; and I cannot stress enough the importance of creating

continuing education opportunities like those that are offered at Delaware Tech.”

– Christopher A. Coons, United States Senator, Delaware

“Having a qualified workforce is key to creating jobs and strengthening the economy.

Delaware’s workforce is one of the most skilled in the nation, and I’m excited for this

opportunity to further prepare workers for the jobs of the future. The programs and

partnerships that Delaware Tech can create with this funding will lead directly to

economic growth that benefits the entire community.”

– John C. Carney, Jr., United States Representative, Delaware


Legislative SupportMembers of the Delaware General Assembly provide support

for Delaware Tech and its mission in a variety of ways.

Each year the Legislature’s Joint Finance and Bond Bill

Committees review the College’s operating and capital budget

requests that support a major portion of Delaware Tech’s

annual budget.

Delaware legislators have also continued to support the Student Excellence Equals Degree (SEED) scholarship program, which allows students who have attended Delaware high schools and meet the academic and behavior criteria to receive scholarship funds toward their associate degrees.

On April 3, 2012, the College joined the University of

Delaware and Delaware State University to celebrate the

second annual Higher Education Day at Legislative Hall

to thank Governor Jack Markell and the members of the

Legislature for their support and to brief them on the many

collaborative partnerships that exist between Delaware Tech,

the University of Delaware, and Delaware State University.

Advisory CommitteesAdvisory Committees are a very important part of

Delaware Tech’s efforts to develop responsive and

relevant programs and connect Delawareans

with jobs.

Academic programs are developed and kept current

through the use of advisory committees comprised

of over 1,000 business and industry experts in

related fields. These committees meet regularly with

College department chairpersons, instructors, and

deans to review curricula, arrange internships for

students, and ensure that Delaware Tech graduates

have the knowledge and skills necessary for

immediate entry into their chosen careers.

Recently developed programs in renewable energy

technology, health information management,

surgical technology, and information security are just

a few examples of the College’s efforts to continually

align its programs with current and future workforce

needs expressed by our advisory committees.

45 Years of Leveraging Partnerships

Lane Community College PartnershipBuilding on Delaware Tech’s nationally-accredited refrigeration,

heating, and air conditioning program and engineering

technology programs, the College partnered with Lane

Community College in Eugene, Oregon, to offer an award-

winning curriculum in energy management. Lane’s program

is one of the few in the country accredited by the Institute for

Sustainable Power and has become a national model for energy

education, receiving the “Innovation of the Year” award from the

League for Innovation in the Community College. The Energy

Management program is offered at our campuses statewide.

ManufacturingThe College’s partnership with the Delaware Manufacturing

sector, housed at the Stanton Campus and staffed with

Delaware Tech employees, has been helping Delaware’s

manufacturing companies succeed especially in this difficult

economy. In just one year Delaware Manufacturing Extension

Partnership (DEMEP) helped its clients create over $7 million

in increased sales. Respondents to an annual survey reported

that 97 jobs were created and an additional 166 were

retained thanks to DEMEP.

Partnering to Meet Workforce DemandDelaware’s Aviation Maintenance Program

is an example of a successful collaboration

that made it possible to meet the workforce

need in the aviation field. Partners include

advisory committee members from the

aviation industry, Sussex County Council,

the U.S. Department of Labor, our Delaware

Congressional Delegation, the Governor’s

Office, and the State Legislature — all of

whom collaborated to develop the program,

provide equipment, and secure the funding

necessary for the College to produce job-

ready graduates in the field. This partnership

is expanding and working within FAA

guidelines to include an additional aviation

program — Powerplant — to prepare

technicians to work on airplane engines.

Another new program launched recently

with the help of partners is the certificate

for Direct Support Professionals, a program

designed to train people to provide

assistance to persons with developmental

and intellectual disabilities so they can lead

lives as independently as possible.

The number of people with disabilities

who need support is increasing, and the

advocacy community asked the College to

develop a program to prepare people who

want to enter the field and to strengthen the

knowledge and skills of those already in the

workforce.

The program development process was led

by an advisory committee that included

representatives from the Homes for Life

Foundation, the Delaware Department of

Health and Social Services, and a variety of

private and public service providers. The

advisory committee also raised scholarships

to support more than 30 students.

Collaborations with the University of Delaware and Delaware State University The University of Delaware (UD), Delaware

State University (DSU), and Delaware Tech

partner across many areas to support the state’s

economy and connect Delawareans with jobs.

Transfer Opportunities There are 36 “connected degree” agreements

in place that enable our associate degree

graduates to seamlessly transfer as juniors

into related bachelor’s degree programs at

UD and DSU. Recent agreements include

Science Education and Computer Science

with future agreements in the planning

stage. Our faculty work closely together,

ensuring that course requirements at all

three institutions are aligned to support

students and these agreements.

Grant Partnerships Our institutions partner to secure grant funds

that advance key education and economic

initiatives in the state. One example is

Delaware’s Experimental Program to Stimulate

Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program,

a nine-year collaborative effort among UD,

DSU, Delaware Tech, and Wesley College, that

continues to establish and expand science,

technology, engineering and math (STEM)

career pathways for students statewide. The

EPSCoR partnership also uses future-focused

labor market research to help us make

proactive strategic decisions regarding STEM

workforce education and research and to

support Delaware employers in continuing to

be national leaders in the innovation economy.

Faculty Expertise Faculty at UD, DSU, and Delaware Tech

contribute their subject matter expertise to

serve on nearly 25 advisory committees across

the three institutions. They join business and

industry professionals on these committees

to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities

Student Success Initiatives Additional collaborative efforts extend beyond

our three institutions to benefit education

and economic development statewide.

One example is the state’s P20 Council, an

organization formed to coordinate educational

efforts of publicly-funded programs from early

care through higher education and to foster

partnerships among groups concerned with

public education. As council members, chief

academic officers from UD, DSU, and Delaware

Tech are working with K-12, higher education,

business, community, and government leaders

to advance student success and completion

across all levels of education. Creating

programs and services to help students

achieve their educational goals is an important

step toward connecting them with jobs and

enhancing the state’s economic vitality.

DELAWARE TECH EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS SUPPORT BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, EDUCATION, AND INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY

BY DONATING THEIR TIME, MONEY, TALENT, AND SKILLS.

Supporting the Community

Service LearningService learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates

meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the

learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities.

Delaware Tech faculty and academic counselors engage students in service

learning statewide to take what they’ve learned in the classroom and apply it

to real-life situations. Through the practical application of their studies, they

become actively contributing citizens and community members.

Examples of service learning range from students volunteering at fairs and

festivals to taking part in breast cancer awareness drives and volunteering

at breakfast missions. Dental hygiene students provide examinations for local

children, while other students participate in recycling programs and beach and

highway clean-up efforts. Culinary arts students solicit donations and stuff a

DART bus with food for needy Delawareans in the Stuff the Bus effort. There are

also programs that provide gently used formal wear for high school students

going to proms, teddy bears for babies, blankets for children who are ill or

traumatized, and shoes for members of the community who need them.

In addition, nursing students provide health screenings at events statewide.

To complement and increase service learning efforts, Delaware Tech now offers a student success course called Introduction to Service Learning, which provides students with community service ideas and opportunities while helping them learn the value of civic engagement.

unity United Way

Delaware Tech employees give

generously to United Way of

Delaware each year to support its

mission to advance the common good by focusing on the

three building blocks to a good life—education, income,

and health.

From 2007 through 2011, the College’s employees gave a

total of almost $365,000 to contribute to United Way, with

72% participation in 2011. Delaware Tech supports United

Way’s long-term strategy to eliminate the root causes of

Delaware’s most pressing social problems in New Castle, Kent,

and Sussex counties. The College is proud to be a supporter of

United Way of Delaware as it works to establish positive,

long-lasting solutions for today and into the future.

Kent and Sussex Economic ConferencesAnother way that Delaware Tech collaborates with

stakeholders in the community to connect Delawareans

with jobs is by hosting annual economic conferences in

Sussex and Kent counties each fall. These conferences, which

attract citizens, business leaders, community leaders, and

local government officials, offer a valuable opportunity for

interactive presentations and discussions regarding economic

development and related issues within each county.

Panel discussions range from topics such as “Where the Jobs Are” and “Energy and Utilities” to “Connections That Work” and “Building Businesses Virtually.”

The conferences are carefully planned by committees

comprised of representatives from academia, business,

healthcare, and government. The presentations each year

feature a wealth of information to promote understanding,

showcase initiatives, identify needs, and stimulate action.

community, government, and business leaders as the

featured speaker at the annual Sussex County Today and

Tomorrow Conference at the College’s Owens Campus

e Faculty AccomplishmentsFaculty members at Delaware Tech have a long list of accomplishments in addition

to the work they do in the classroom every day. Some examples include:

Dr. Doug Hicks, department chair for

the Engineering Technologies program

at the Owens Campus, was appointed to

the Delaware STEM Education Council

representing Delaware Tech. The Council

was created by Governor Markell in January

2010 to lead efforts in fostering science,

technology, engineering, and mathematics

education in our schools.

Barbara Sheppard, (left) chair of the

Education Department and Nicolle Gaines,

(right) program manager for the Child

Development Center at the Wilmington

Campus, have worked diligently to maintain

the center’s accreditation by the National

Association for the Education of Young

Children (NAEYC). The most recent year-

long effort will be the third time the center

has completed this rigorous process. Since

it was established in 1999, Early Childhood

Education students have worked in the center

under the supervision of teachers.

Chef Ed Hennessy, department chair

for the Culinary Arts program at the

Terry Campus, recently attained three-

year accreditation from the Accrediting

Commission of the American Culinary

Federation Education Foundation. As

the only full-time faculty member for

the program, he led the effort through

the rigorous process to achieve the high

standards of this first-time accreditation,

joining the Stanton Campus as a nationally

accredited Culinary Arts program.

Jennifer Clemons, a renewable energy

instructor at the Terry Campus, was selected

to participate in the 2012 Renewable Energy

Train the Trainer Solar Electric Academy,

a five-day, hands-on course that includes

installation practice with photovoltaic (solar

electric) systems. The training, which focuses

on safe installation and commissioning

procedures and techniques for teaching PV

in the classroom, is hosted by Solar Energy

International in Paonia, Colorado.


Dr. Virginia Balke of the Stanton

Campus is a co-principal investigator in

the Community College Undergraduate

Research Initiative (CCURI). The initiative is

working with community colleges around

the nation to help them incorporate

undergraduate research into their science

curricula. Delaware Tech has played an

important role in this project and now serves

as a model for other schools. The project is

funded by a $3.35 million National Science

Foundation Phase III Grant for Transforming

Undergraduate Education in Science —

the only one awarded in 2011.

Barry Weiss, department chair of the

Airframe Maintenance Technology program

at the Owens Campus, was a driving force in

developing curriculum, acquiring equipment,

satisfying FAA requirements, hiring instructors,

and achieving FAA certification for the

College’s program. Leading a cooperative

effort that involved the federal government,

Sussex County, and business partners, he

accomplished in 18 months what usually

takes other colleges three to five years.

Mary Marchegiano-Nolker of the

Stanton Campus was recently appointed

to the Accreditation Board for Engineering

and Technology Accreditation Commission.

She was also selected to attend the 2012

Sustainable Energy Education and Training

(SEET) Workshop in Golden, Colorado.

The primary goal of the SEET Technology

Workshop project is to build the capacity

of energy technicians to meet the

challenges of sustainable energy

in the 21st century workplace.

Archana Sharma, instructional coordinator

for the Computer Information Systems

Department at the Wilmington Campus,

was awarded a three-year National Science

Foundation (NSF) grant to develop and run a

free statewide youth camp involving robotics

and renewable energy. Campers build robots

and use them to transform a miniature town

into a “green city.” Sharma trained instructors

at all of the College’s campuses for the

popular camp, which admits young students

following a competitive essay process.

45 Years of

DELAWARE TECH IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED EACH YEAR BY DONORS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO HELP OUR STUDENTS SUCCEED. DONATIONS ARE USED TO FUND SCHOLARSHIPS, TEXTBOOKS, AND BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS

THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL GOALS.

Valuing Your Investment

GalasEach campus of Delaware Tech hosts galas annually to raise funds for student scholarships or academic support services at the

College. In 2011, as a result of generous contributions and sponsorships from individuals and business, the three events netted a

total of $405,300 to fund scholarships, textbooks, classroom learning tools, and building expansion.

The dedication of Delaware Tech’s Stanton and Wilmington

Campuses’ employees, students, and community members

transform the Wilmington Campus each year into an

Evening of Mardi Gras.

Starry Starry Night, the annual black-tie optional gala for

the Owens Campus in Georgetown, has been “the place to

be” in Sussex County on the last Saturday in April for the

past 13 years.

The annual Gourmet Gala held at the College’s

Terry Campus in Dover is an elegant, black-tie-optional

affair where gala attendees are transported to new

and exciting places far away from home.


Major Scholarship Donors

Joshua M. Freeman

As president and chief executive officer of Carl M. Freeman

Associates, Joshua Freeman was committed to the firm’s

mission — helping people live better. Well known as a

husband, father, community and business leader, and a

gentleman whose life was based on core values and

personal responsibility, Josh Freeman led by example.

Mr. Freeman believed as Winston Churchill did that “To whom

much is given, much is required.” Thus, until his untimely

death in December 2006, he continued to increase his capacity

to help people and our communities. It was his wish to leave

a legacy of customer service, philanthropy, and value-based

actions that inspire others. The Joshua M. Freeman Scholarship

is one way his legacy will endure with Delaware Tech students

for many years to come.

George and Marilyn Chabbott

George and Marilyn Chabbott have been constant

champions of education, supporting Delaware Tech’s Terry

Campus at every turn. As Gourmet Gala sponsors, they have

helped raise thousands of dollars for student scholarships.

They have consistently dedicated time, resources, and

financial support to Delaware Tech.

In recognition of their unwavering support, the George

and Marilyn Chabbott Center for Entrepreneurship and

Small Business Innovation and Advancement was dedicated

in their honor. Mr. Chabbott volunteers countless hours at the

Center, helping aspiring entrepreneurs realize their dreams.

The couple has owned and operated their own successful

commercial real estate business, so they understand the

value of hard work and vision, making them the perfect

choice for this distinction.

Helen Connon

Dr. Helen A. Connon sincerely believes in the old adage “Give

a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish,

and you feed him for a lifetime.” A graduate of the University

of California, Berkley, and then Yale University with a Ph.D. in

Chemistry, Dr. Connon wanted to help others achieve their

academic goals, so she set up a scholarship fund to provide

tuition, fees, and books for students at Delaware Tech. She

appreciates the fact that the College’s low tuition rates allow

her endowment to benefit many students.

Impressed by an in-depth tour of the Nursing Department,

she decided to target her endowed scholarship for nursing

students. Dr. Connon has spent her career contributing her

knowledge and talents at the DuPont Company in Wilmington,

where she has worked in both chemistry and biotechnology.
