Closing Remarks

Gerry Tomka

President, MCC Foundation Board of Directors

Dear supporters, Foundation scholars, family and friends,

On behalf of the Metropolitan Community College Foundation Board of Directors, I welcome you to the thirteenth annual celebration for MCCF Scholars. Tonight, we will highlight the College’s donors, alumni, faculty and staff that collaborate to have a positive impact on the lives of a diverse community of learners. As you look around the room, know that every student scholar is graduating – they have fulfilled their goals here at MCC, and we know they will go on to make our community a better place and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.

Our work makes a difference

As the premier event for the Foundation and a night to celebrate our graduating scholars, the MCCF Scholars Reception is something we look forward to every year. Tonight is an opportunity for our graduating scholarship recipients to meet our generous donors. We celebrate the hard work and tenacity of our 240 graduating scholarship recipients as we wish them all the best in their future endeavors, professionally, educationally and personally. All in all, the Foundation distributed $630,503 in scholarships and grants during 2021-2022.

Creating a 21st century workforce

In supporting the MCC Foundation, you are not only furthering the dreams and ambitions of students in our community, you are helping to shape the community with the kind of workforce we need.

In a fast-changing economy that rewards adaptability, MCC is keenly aware of our strengths. Investments in the MCC Foundation allow the College to quickly respond to evolving economic trends and new industries so that our workforce can remain strong, trained and resilient.

Improving our community

MCC alumni are important members of their communities, workplaces, neighborhoods and organizations. They hire other MCC graduates, serve on community boards and participate on various industry committees.

Your investment in our scholars plants the seed for this cycle of philanthropy to continue. Our MCCF alumni emulate your spirit of giving and continue investing in our community.

Every year at the MCCF Scholars Reception, we honor the successes of an MCC graduate with the Distinguished Alumni Award. The 2023 award is being given to Marie Ouedraogo.

Thank you for joining us this evening and for all you do for both MCC and its students.

Sincerely,

Gerry Tomka President, MCC Foundation

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI

Marie Ouedraogo

Associate in Applied Science – Prototype Design, 2019

Career Certificate – Computer Aided Drafting, 2018

Before attending MCC,

Marie worked as a math tutor and student technology mentor in New York City. Marie started expressing her entrepreneurial spirit way back in her home country, Burkina Faso, with the creation and sale of various jewelry and personal care products for women.

To develop her entrepreneurial spirit, Marie enrolled in the Prototype Design degree program at Metropolitan Community College. The program allowed her to create physical models using computer-aided machines and power tools for her work and personal projects.

During her time at the college, Marie served as the Student Ex-officio of the MCC Board of Governors from 2018 to 2019. She represented the school at events in the community, attended students’ activities, and helped students find the resources they needed. Marie would attend Board of Governor’s meetings to report on the student life and voice their concerns, and what they liked about the college.

Attending the Board of Governors’ meetings taught her that the board members truly care about the students and she wanted to learn as much as possible from them to be able to help the students. Those great experiences motivated Marie to serve as the Secretary of Integration for the Association of Burkina in Nebraska, from 2020 to 2022. Her Burkinabè community relied on her as the secretary to coordinate food deliveries and bereavement care and to share resources that helped them integrate. Marie personally called people that needed encouragement, guidance, or congratulatory words.

Marie is currently a senior at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. She is still involved in the community where she is empowering kids to get interested in mathematics, science, and technology. She makes math, science, and technology concepts easier for children to understand. She also creates projects that help develop the children’s motor skills, social skills and their studies.

In August 2021, Marie was granted a scholarship from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Power and Energy Society, an honor given to distinguished engineering students for their leadership and commitment to developing new green technologies, building smart grids and efficiently generating and utilizing power.

In her free time, Marie enjoys crafting, reading, watching movies, visiting museums, and spending time with her friends and family.

Congratulations, 2022-23 MCCF scholarship recipients!

We applaud these scholars for their pursuit of postsecondary education and salute them for their outstanding efforts in their academic career.

Ward Memorial Nursing Scholarship

How has this scholarship helped you achieve your goals?

“You could have selected someone else but you chose me. I do not take that opportunity for granted. Nursing is an expensive and tedious undertaking that requires massive resources that I without your generosity, could not make it. Thanks to your generosity, it has made the impossible possible. Today I continue to remain in class pursuing my nursing career because of the love you’ve shared with me. After graduation, I would like to find a nursing position in Omaha where I have a chance to give back to the community to honor you and your generosity. Your help is greatly appreciated and will be reciprocated.”
