2016 annual report

message from the President of Greenﬁeld Community College The job of raising money for students and programs in public higher education has shifted from a desirable augmentation to a necessity. As state support has declined and costs to students increase, community based fund raising has become significant to the success of our students. Out of the mud two strangers came And caught me splitting wood in the yard, And one of them put me off my aim By hailing cheerily "Hit them hard!" I knew pretty well why he had dropped behind And let the other go on a way. I knew pretty well what he had in mind: He wanted to take my job for pay. At a presentation on the work of community foundations, I learned about the root of the word philanthropy:: “Philanthropy - altruistic concern for human welfare and advancement, usually manifested by donations of money, property, or work to needy persons, by endowment of institutions of learning and hospitals…” And its word origin “philanthröpía - love for mankind” The time when most I loved my task The two must make me love it more By coming with what they came to ask. You'd think I never had felt before The weight of an ax-head poised aloft, The grip of earth on outspread feet, The life of muscles rocking soft And smooth and moist in vernal heat. That is what giving is about, isn’t it? It is your love for GCC and the transformative mission of access and excellence that brings us together to build atop this wonderful Foundation. Good blocks of oak it was I split, As large around as the chopping block; And every piece I squarely hit Fell splinterless as a cloven rock. The blows that a life of self-control Spares to strike for the common good, That day, giving a loose my soul, I spent on the unimportant wood. But love alone is not enough to make good on the promise of education. Money helps to open doors, create opportunity and change lives. Last year your gifts raised $929,930, providing $374,473 in scholarships for 501 students and $206,479 for GCC programs, touching 2,788 students’ lives. But yield who will to their separation, My object in living is to unite My avocation and my vocation As my two eyes make one in sight. Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes, Is the deed ever really done For Heaven and the future's sakes. On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of this community’s college, thank you. Your love changes lives for the better every day at GCC. Families then grow stronger and so too our community. The GCC Foundation - where love and need are one and the work is play for mortal stakes…for heaven and the future’s sake. Sincerely,

Bob Pura and Robert Frost (Two Tramps at Mud Time)

Sandy Sayers ’85

Emily Emmons was one of “29 Who Shine,” a group of outstanding Massachusetts public college and university graduates honored by the Governor and the Department of Higher Education at a Massachusetts State House ceremony in May. Every year, one graduate from each school is recognized for their academic achievements, student leadership and community service.

Professor Buz Eisenberg’s American Civil Liberties students did more than read about Petitions for Clemency, they helped Eisenberg write them. In the fall of 2015, Eisenberg and the students worked on behalf of two federal prisoners who had received multidecade sentences for low-level, nonviolent drug offenses as a result of federal mandatory-minimum sentencing schemes.

The GCC Distinguished Alumni Committee selected Sandy Sayers of Greenfield as the 2015 Distinguished Alumnus.

Emily, of Northampton, graduated in June with an Associate in Arts in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Computer Science. She will transfer to UMass Amherst for a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a Software Engineering focus.

The college sponsored travel for two students to accompany Eisenberg to Tennessee and Mississippi to interview one client and perform investigative services, and co-counsel Attorney Bill Newman, Director of the Western Mass. office of the American Civil Liberties Union sponsored another student to accompany him to Minnesota for the same purpose. Both petitions were completed and submitted in January of 2016. Because of work done by Eisenberg, his students, and Newman, President Obama has granted clemency to one of the men, who is now out of prison and home with his family.

Emily is a first generation college student, putting herself through school, with a 3.57 GPA. She wants the tools for learning about computer science to be accessible to everyone. “There are great professors at GCC,” she said, “and everyone makes themselves very available. Doug Wilkins really helped me with navigating school and Scott Herstad encouraged us to determine what questions most interested us, and to explore them, even if they are difficult.” GCC President Bob Pura said, “I am so pleased for Emily, her family, and her teachers. Her GPA is just one testament to her commitment to doing good work. Her courage, combined with her intelligence and commitment to hard work, will open doors for her as a software engineer.

In 2014, the Obama Administration announced the President wished to grant clemency to inmates who, as a result of mandatory-minimum sentencing and ‘three strikes’, had been given extremely long sentences for non-violent offenses. To qualify, inmates would have to have served a minimum of 10 years for non-violent, usually drug offenses, for which they would have received much shorter sentences had they been sentenced today..

Sayers began college as a non-traditional student at GCC and graduated with her Associate’s degree in 1985. She then transferred to Smith College as an “Ada Comstock Scholar” to complete her Bachelor’s degree in 1988. “The atmosphere at GCC was so supportive – it meant a lot to me to feel welcomed and to learn that I could achieve and accomplish things that I never believed I could do before,” said Sayers. She has served on the Board of Directors of the GCC Foundation and as its Chair was appointed as the alumni representative to the GCC Board of Trustees. Sayers started her career in development at Stoneleigh Burnham School, then moved to Smith College where she held several positions, including Senior Associate Director. After serving as Director of Development at Baystate Franklin Medical Center where she managed a $5 million Capital Campaign, she was later named Director of Development for The United Arc. In 2013, Sayers became Director of Resource Development & Community Engagement at United Way of Franklin County. In 2015, she was appointed Executive Director of the United Way where she continues to oversee programs & funding for the organization.
