From the Desk of Dr. Kinslow … Thank you for your pledges

From the Desk of Stephen B. Kinslow

Dear Faculty & Staff,

On behalf of the college, I’d like to thank each of you who contributed to the College Connection Scholarship program this year through the State Employee Charitable Campaign. As a result of your generosity, $16,329 was pledged by employees for these scholarships. You doubled last year’s contributions to the ACC Foundation!

At General Assembly, I announced my gift of $10,000— $2,500 for the Presidential Scholarship and $7,500 to match your contributions to the ACC Foundation through SECC College Connection Scholarships. The Foundation then offered to match our $15,000 for a total of $30,000. Your pledges went well beyond the $7,500, and the Foundation has generously offered to provide matching funds for the additional $8,829. This brings the total amount raised for College Connection Scholarships through SECC to more than $47,000. Thank you!

In total, we raised nearly $16,000 more in SECC contributions over last year’s campaign. A special kudos goes to Pinnacle Campus with total pledges of $11,879, followed by the Highland Business Center with $11,058, and Rio Grande Campus with $10,819. Congratulations to all who pitched in. This will help many new students, and I thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Stephen B. Kinslow, Ph.D.
President/CEO
