SCF 2021 Annual Report

A Word of Thanks from the President

Dr. Carol F. Probstfeld State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota is boldly leading on its campuses, in its community, and in the higher education industry. Guided by our values and strategic priorities, we are committed to always doing what we say, delivering on our promises, and providing a strong return on investment to our students, donors and taxpayers. This annual report provides the facts, figures and stories that describe SCF’s students, programs and accomplishments in the past year. Our achievements reflect a tremendous commitment to supporting student success and being the region’s first choice for higher education and investment. As we embark on our new 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, we stand ready to lead our rapidly growing region. Our donors, higher education partners and the State of Florida have recognized our diligence for supporting our students. This support is essential to our ability to provide the highest quality education. It is difficult to reflect on the accomplishments of 2020-2021 without fully acknowledging the challenges faced this year. The College entered the Fall 2020 semester by welcoming students back on campus while adjusting and refining the online methods used to teach students who

could not return to campus or who found digital learning to be their preference. For the first time, SCF offered Go Live with SCF Online, a synchronous learning environment for students to take live classes through video conferencing. The State of Florida, CareerSource Suncoast and Florida Power & Light joined forces to offer students an incredible opportunity for rapid credentialing. Students pursuing select workforce certificates were awarded not only scholarships to fund their studies, but career support from CareerSource Suncoast and a free laptop from FPL. The College’s impact on the health care workforce expanded with the launch of an Associate in Science in health services management degree. This two-year program will train support staff for careers in non-clinical health care roles. The degree also articulates smoothly into SCF’s fouryear degree in health services administration. Several major capital projects were completed this spring. The long-awaited opening of our new Studio for the Performing Arts marks a new era for our fine and performing arts programs. Our music and theater students have gained much-needed practice space, storage space for instruments and a new recital hall. This was made possible by the largest fundraising

campaign in SCF Foundation history. In 2019, SCF received a $3.6 million Florida Job Growth Grant. That funding helped to launch the 26 West Center, a facility built with a focus on advanced technology and entrepreneurial innovation. In what was once an aging library at SCF Bradenton, there is now a Coding Academy with robots and drones humming about and a Business Growth Lab supporting incubation and acceleration for small businesses. The 26 West Center enhances SCF’s role as an economic engine for the region. SCF also increased its capacity for offering STEM education with a sizeable expansion of its science complex in Bradenton. The renovation of one of the original science buildings and a glistening new expansion have increased lab space while creating important new areas for students to collaborate with one another. SCF’s students, faculty, staff and administration are always resilient, and just as important, flexible when faced with challenges. With our new strategic plan underway, we will continue to boldly lead as we grow and respond to our region’s workforce needs and our changing world.

SCF 2021 Annual Report

Science and Manufacturing SCF expanded its STEM capabilities by completing an extensive renovation and expansion of its SCF Bradenton science complex. The new science building of 11,900 square feet includes a faculty office suite and a 55-seat lecture hall on the first floor; two labs, a lab prep room and a classroom on the second floor. The renovation of building 25 included new finishes, furniture, lighting, audiovisual and HVAC upgrades, full restroom remodels, front entrance and breezeway enhancements, and landscaping. The work SCF’s students accomplish in the field of science far exceeds what many would expect of a two-year program. Biotechnology students under the direction of Dr. Matthew Thomas and Dr. Eric Warrick, discovered a novel strand of DNA in an antibiotic producing bacteria. The discovery, along with the names of the seven participating students, has been published in the repository DNA database of the National Institutes of Health. Graduates in STEM programs leave SCF with the knowledge and skills to enter the workplace. SCF alumni can be found conducting research in laboratories or managing manufacturing operations at production facilities. The College is continually adapting to keep this important curriculum on the cutting edge of local economic needs.

SCF Lakewood Ranch Medical Technology & Simulation Center The Medical Technology & Simulation Center (MTSC) is a two-story, 42,000-square-foot building that houses nursing, other health professions, education and SCF’s Energy Technology Management Program.

SCF 2021 Annual Report

Sandlin thrived at SCF after initially being hesitant to attend college when he finished high school. After a brief stint selling cars, Sandlin has a college degree and jumpstarted his career in government and politics with internships at the U.S. Department of State and in the House of Representatives. A big part of the SCF experience for Sandlin was getting involved in clubs, including theater and Student Government Association. He received the Outstanding Graduate Award for Spring 2020, receiving the award unconventionally during a virtual ceremony. “Every teacher I met encouraged students to get involved in clubs,” he said. “That way you met more people. That kind of involvement is super important for students.” Sandlin is pursuing a four-year degree in political science at the University of Florida. He isn’t sure where his career will take him, but he is certain his passion for meeting new people and making connections will benefit him.

“The price was right, the timing was right. SCF made perfect sense when I started college.”

Korszen is the president of the board of directors for the SCF Foundation. Now a practicing partner at The Farr Law Firm, Korszen started her education at Manatee Junior College (now SCF) and earned her Associate in Arts in 1978. Korszen faced a lot of uncertainty after graduating from Venice High School as to how she would go to college. Just like many other students over the last 64 years, Korszen took advantage of having an affordable, local option. After earning the A.A. degree, Korszen earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering at the University of Florida and proceeded to graduate magna cum laude from law school at the University of Miami. She never forgot what a difference SCF made. Korszen is excited to continue working to strengthen the SCF Foundation to increase the number of students who can receive scholarships each year and continue to build facilities and create new opportunities.

Dorothy Korszen A.A. Transfer Student

“If we need a new building, a new program, more scholarships, and to keep SCF as a vibrant part of out community, we’ve got to do the work,” said Korszen.

“I was just so grateful to have SCF close by and to have that opportunity to start my college education right away.” Miguel Garcia is a two-time graduate of SCF, earning an associate degree in 2011 and completing his bachelor’s in 2018. He has risen in the ranks of the Sarasota Fire Department to achieve the rank of battalion chief. Garcia has a passion for finding opportunities to pass on his knowledge and expertise in his profession. He serves as an adjunct instructor at Suncoast Technical College, teaching EMT and paramedic programs. He has also helped convince younger firefighters of the importance of education for their careers. It’s essential for many leadership positions in the public safety field. For Garcia, education is about timing. He earned his degrees at a pace that fit his career and family life. He believes his path to education is one that is becoming more common, with students gathering life experience before committing to a specific degree track.

Miguel Garcia B.A.S. Public Safety Administration

“For most people this is a very good choice,” said Garcia. “Why go away if you’re not ready, or pay more when you have quality and affordable college here? Stay local.”
