TABLE

Dear supporters, Foundation scholars, family and friends, On behalf of the Metropolitan Community College Foundation Board of Directors, I welcome you to the 14th annual MCCF Scholars Reception. Tonight, we celebrate our graduating scholars who have achieved their goals at MCC and are ready to begin the next chapter. Thank you for celebrating with us and for being part of their journey. All of you that are present tonight – as donors, alumni, faculty and staff – you have played a role in student success.

As the premier event for the MCC Foundation, the MCCF Scholars Reception is something our board looks forward to every year. This year is particularly special because Metropolitan Community College is celebrating 50 years serving students. Metropolitan Community College opened in 1974 as a small occupational school that has grown into the second-largest postsecondary education institution in Nebraska. Tonight, we commemorate 50 years of investing in student success, made possible through the generosity of our donors, the strength of this institution, and the hard work and tenacity of our 298 graduating scholarship students. In total, the Foundation distributed $679,299 in scholarships and grants during 2022-23 to help students reach their goals.

For 50 years MCC has been part of many lives, and MCC alumni play a pivotal role in enacting change. They hire fellow MCC graduates, serve on community boards and participate in the daily lives of others. Their commitment reflects the values that were instilled in them during their time at MCC.

The MCCF Scholars Reception serves as a celebration of the remarkable achievements of our alumni, exemplified by individuals like Demetria Geralds, the recipient of the 2024 Distinguished Alumni Award. Through her accomplishments, Demetria embodies the spirit of excellence, leadership and service that defines MCC graduates.

Thank you for joining us this evening and for your unwavering support of MCC and its students.

Sincerely,

PRESIDENT’S LETTER 3

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI

Demetria Geralds

Demetria is a multidisciplinary artist with experience in fashion, costume design and community cultivation. Demetria’s interest and creativity surrounding the business of fashion and textiles goes back to her childhood when she received teaching from her grandmother, who was a quilter, as well as guidance from her entrepreneur mother.

In 2017 Demetria became the first “official” graduate of the MCC Fashion Design program. A fond memory Demetria has from her time in the Fashion Design program is traveling to the Garment District in New York to research and visit manufacturers that could help her scale her designs. After graduating, she quickly delved into the creative demands of fashion and costume design. She set high goals for herself and her craft, and in 2023, she was credited as lead costume designer for an Emmy-winning short-form content documentary. She also worked behind the scenes in the wardrobe department for the Tony-winning Broadway show, “Hamilton.”

During her time at MCC, Demetria, a 20-year military veteran, worked in the Veterans Services Office, where she helped fellow veterans navigate post military education. She was a dedicated and active member of the MCC Student Veteran’s Association as well. As a MCC Veteran alumni, Demetria continues to field questions about educational benefits and entitlements. She encourages her fellow vets to take classes, credit and noncredit, that are beyond their preferred programming that will help them have a smoother transition to civilian careers.

Even after graduating from MCC, Demetria has remained involved in the MCC community. She has lent her expertise as a judge, guest panelist and mentor to support MCC-sponsored Student Night for Omaha Fashion Week (OFW). Demetria is most proud of creating a scholarship from her 2017 OFW season prize winnings; that offered art supplies to eligible MCC Fashion Design students. Additionally, Demetria is a regular guest speaker for the Principles of Fashion class, where she shares her insights on fashion, marketing, and merchandising with MCC students.

Although most of Demetria’s work in costume and design finds her behind the scenes, her previous project with the MCC Marketing Department found her in front of the camera as the subject for an MCC ad campaign. Demetria found this experience to be valuable because she gained knowledge surrounding production, sound, lighting and editing. This unique MCC opportunity aided Demetria when she later worked on national commercials for Bank of America and Samsung.

Demetria’s most recent ventures find her in the driver’s seat of her mobile art unit, known as the SowMobile. The SowMobile hosts workshops that make art, fashion (art) and textiles accessible for all. In regard to the SowMobile, Demetria says her goal is to “sow creativity, peak imaginations and inspire others to access their inner artist.” The SowMobile, featuring its, “Sow it. Forward movement,” along with several other pieces of Demetria’s work, is currently showcased in a permanent exhibit at the Kiewit Luminarium in Omaha.

Demetria fancies herself a “treasure-finder” due to her affinity for thrift shops and estate sales. She explores all art mediums, enjoys traveling and family adventures.

Program: Liberal Arts Transfer

Mildred D. Brown Memorial Scholarship

My love for writing began in the fifth grade. My teacher gave me a craft book for writing and wrote a note inside the cover that expressed her excitement to see my work published one day. My passion for writing only grew from there and I began my journey at Metropolitan Community College to pursue this lifelong dream. Along the way, I was forced to set that dream aside. In 2023, I was given the opportunity to resume my pursuit, and Metropolitan Community College was there with open arms. The Mildred D. Brown Memorial scholarship recognized my commitment to continue my journey and gave me the opportunity to not only keep moving forward, but to focus and excel with determination. I am so grateful for everyone who has been supportive of my dreams. I will be graduating finally, May 2024, with my Creative Writing Certificate, new friends, valuable resources and a new sense of self and accomplishment.

Let’s Go and Peter Kiewit Foundation Vocational Scholarships

When I got awarded three scholarships, I was honestly shocked. The feeling I got in my body made me feel like I still have purpose. As a recovering addict, I have had a lot of self-doubt to overcome. MCC has been a blessing of hope and purpose. Sober now for 18 months, the Let’s Go and Peter Kiewit Foundation Vocational scholarships were just one more blessing from my higher power showing me another way to live. Today I am a student. Today I am a father. Today I am sober. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone giving me the support to live a better-quality life for myself and my family. I have one year until I am a Provisionally Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (PLDAC), and this scholarship has helped me continue down this road of recovery and education so I can help so many others like me that have struggled with substance use disorder.
