The Nash Community College Foundation 2014 Campaign will begin on March 25th under the leadership of the Board of Directors to help meet the needs of the College and to provide support for students continuing their education.
\n\u201cGenerations of students have depended on Nash Community College as they pursue a degree or develop a skill-set to better themselves and improve the quality of life for their families. Many of these students graduate and contribute to the local workforce and economy and are where they are today because of donors\u2019 support,\u201d NCC Foundation 2014 Campaign Chair Jake Parrott said. \u201cGifts from individuals and organizations ensure that resources are available to help students take advantage of the quality instruction and higher educational opportunities the College provides,\u201d Parrott continued.
\n\u201cBecause of receiving a scholarship, I was able to take more classes this year and will graduate in the spring with Associate in Science and Computer Engineering Technology Degrees,\u201d student Omar Allen of Middlesex said. \u201cMy dream of going to NC State is realistic because I can transfer there in the fall of 2015. The scholarship means everything,\u201d Allen said.
\nIn addition to the scholarship program, there are many ways in which donors can be an important part of the Continuing Education and Public Services building which will open in mid 2015.\u00a0 Contributions will be used to provide state-of-the-art equipment and instructional support. Building, classroom and lab naming opportunities exist.
\n\u201c2014 is an exciting time for the college as we add to the footprint of the campus to meet the complex demands of a modern workforce,\u201d President Bill Carver said.\u00a0 \u201cStudents come to us from all walks of life.\u00a0 They leave as our community\u2019s firefighters, police officers, nurses, and emergency medical personnel.\u00a0 The College continues to meet the needs of local business and industry sending graduates back into the community ensuring these critical, lifesaving roles are filled. Training students for relevant careers, or helping individuals transition to a four year college or university is a high priority.\u201d
\nCollege officials are often at the table along with the North Carolina Department of Commerce, area Chambers of Commerce, the Carolinas Gateway Partnership and other organizations when critical considerations are being made by industry seeking a new place to grow and prosper. Several factors are examined by companies during this decision-making process and education and available training are undeniably key. Nash County is an attractive area for industry and that is partly because of responsive educational opportunities and advanced industry training.
\nThank you for your consideration in helping support a vibrant community college through your investment in education.\u00a0 Gift options are available that may be an advantageous way of giving to the NCC Foundation. Your support will make a difference in our community and in the lives of its citizens every day.\u00a0 For more information about making a contribution, please contact Executive Director Pat Daniels at (252) 451-8329 or email pdaniels@nashcc.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
