The President’s Blog

This morning I was hand-delivered the information about the College’s Internal Campaign–a fund drive to support scholarships, emergency loan funds, and other activities of the Pellissippi State Foundation.  I have seen first-hand, and you have to,  how important our Foundation Scholarships are to our students.   There’s a great video about the importance of scholarships at the Foundation website:  www.pstcc.edu/foundation.

This internal campaign is very important to the College in another way too, because when we ask the public to support our campaigns, the first question they ask is usually “Do your employees support the programs of the Foundation?”  So far we have been able to answer with a very strong “Yes they do.”

Of course, the other fund raising campaign that just got underway is the Charitable Giving campaign which includes such organizations as United Way and Community Shares among others.

I have seen how the good works of the Internal Campaign and the Charitable Giving Campaign make a difference in our college and in our community.  I hope that you will consider a gift to each of these great campaigns.  They need your help this year more than ever.
