Create A Scholarship Yourself! Have you ever thought it would be fun to

do something positive in your community...something that would survive the challenge of time? Creating an endowed scholarship does just that!

Ways You Can Give:CASH and SECURITIES—the most common

form of financial support. REAL ESTATE—becoming increasingly

popular as real estate values increase.BUSINESS INTERESTS—little known, but

very effective!THROUGH YOUR ESTATE—more than 50%

of Americans are now projected to make a “bequest” in their will or living trust to their favorite charitable cause.

Gifts that Give Back:GIFT ANNUITIES—Tired of CDs, bonds, or

other investments that aren’t paying you very well? Consider a gift annuity! A simple arrangement where the CC Foundation pays you between 7-11% (age specific) for the balance of your lifetime. And you get a handsome income tax deduction too!

CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS— Often referred to as CRTs, this powerful planning tool is often used when someone has real estate, or stock, that has appreciated significantly in value over the years. CRTs help people avoid capital gain tax complete-ly, generate sizeable tax deductions, and secure high levels of income for those who create them. Alicia Ettenhofer

John Hofman

John HofmanJohn is an All-Washington Academic Team member and a STEM (Science, Tech-nology, Engineering, and Math) scholar. He essentially started over when the sinking economy forced him to close his business. He and his wife decided a return to school and

career training were essential. Here he discovered a passion for and success in engineering.

“The STEM scholarship made it possible for me to come back to college and concentrate on my studies. We didn’t have to worry about me getting a job to pay college expenses. I sincerely appreciate the financial support. It truly makes a difference,” he said.

Alicia EttenhoferAlicia is a CPA in the mak-ing. The Morton High School salutatorian planned to attend another college but found that the full scholarship she would receive from Centralia College would do a better job of cover-ing expenses. That scholarship brought her to Centralia Col-

lege and it will make a big difference in her life.She knows that the foundation financial support

“Will help get me to the next level of education. This scholarship is very important,” she said. It cer-tainly will help push her closer to her educational and career goals.

Students agree: your support is important and you do make a difference. Thank you supporters!

Dr. Lisa Carlson, associate professor of Biology, and Jacob Lund, associate professor of Civil Engineering Technology (CET), received the 2011 Exceptional Faculty award.

Dr. Carlson has taught a variety of science classes and continually revamps her cur-riculum to better help students learn, a process she began when she began at Centralia College in 1999. She uses her expertise to improve more than Centralia College’s science department.Carlson has been involved in

helping to piece together the Kiser Natural Outdoor Learning Lab (KNOLL), a site under development just west of the science building. KNOLL will include trees, grasses and shrubs that are representa-tive of regions from throughout Washington.

Carlson is the chair of the Sustainability Com-mittee and is leading the college in that arena. She initiated a tree-planting event as part of the col-lege’s long-range goal of becoming carbon neutral.

Jacob Lund teaches math-ematical formulas and soil testing methods to second-year CET students.

His favorite classes are those which mimic outside work–designing and planning highways, roads and storm-water systems. Lund began teaching in 2007 and has been

designing and creating courses along the way.“It’s important to include stormwater management

because of the amount of rain that falls in Washing-ton,” he said. “Stormwater facility design is a compo-nent of almost every land development project.”

An engineer by heart, Lund has held positions in all facets of the industry including owning and operating an engineering business.

“My teaching approach is simple: Make class-room activities closely resemble real life engineer-ing situations as much as possible,” he said.

Rick Anderson, chairman and chief executive officer of Moss Adams, is Centralia College’s 2011 Distinguished Alumnus Award recipient. Anderson, a 1971 graduate of Centralia College, is the 34th recipient of the honor.

Moss Adams LLP, an international business orga-nization, is the 11th largest

accounting and consulting firm in the United States. Founded in 1913 and headquartered in Seattle, Moss Adams provides accounting and consulting services to public, private and nonprofit enterprises in many different industries. It has 20 locations in five states with a combined staff of more than 1,700.

“I am very proud of this honor, yet I’m humbled,” Anderson said. “This recognition really caught me by surprise and I’m very appreciative. Centralia College was an important part of my education.”

Anderson is one of two Moss Adams leaders to be named to Accounting Today’s 2010 Top 100 Most Influential People edition.

Anderson is a 1969 graduate of Adna High School. After completing his college education, he became a Certified Public Accountant and joined Moss Adams. He has been with Moss Adams since 1973. Anderson rose through the firm’s ranks, serv-ing as director of Auditing and Accounting, director of Operations, and then rising to become president and Chief Operating Officer from 1999 until 2004 when he was named chairman and CEO of the firm.

Anderson believes that his experience at Centralia College served him well.

“I expected that I was going to get a good educa-tion. I expected to learn. I expected that I would be prepared when I transferred. Centralia College absolutely met my expectations,” he said.

Anderson offers this advice to students:“Doing the very best that you can today will

serve as a springboard to further success,” he said.The complete listing of Centralia College Distin-

guished Alumnus Award recipients is available at: www.foundation.centralia.edu/news.html
