President's Circle
The President's Circle was developed by generous and committed donors who have a strong desire to assist in shaping the future. The President's Circle provides unrestricted funds to achieve the College's strategic goals; these objectives directly impact expansion and future development of programs and scholarships to ensure a quality education is accessible to all.
Your investment
Your gift is an investment in the future vitality of our region and directly impacts industry growth. A top goal is student-centered success by providing high-quality, innovative, affordable and responsive programs that enhance community vitality and economic growth. Pledges can be fulfilled over five years.
One strategy to achieve this goal is the President's Circle Golden Ticket. This unique scholarship allows founding members of the President's Circle to have the opportunity to impact the life of a person they meet who wants to start or finish a degree, diploma or certificate.
A second strategy is our success model. Each student works with a success coach while in high school or at the College. Coaches help students to be more informed decision makers regarding college and career choices. They walk with the student each step of the way to stay on track to graduation.
