Support the SCCC Foundation Annual Fund
As you have read in recent issues of AlumNews, SCCC has been reaching many exciting milestones. These milestones include the opening of the state-of-the-art SCCC at Center City facility in downtown Schenectady. This facility has expanded our classroom capacity to support the new Certified Nursing Certificate Program and courses in criminal justice, business and computer science during peak periods. This achievement, as well as so many others, is one of the reasons an increasing number of applicants are selecting SCCC as their first choice for higher education. As SCCC celebrates the development and launching of new academic and career programs, it is more important than ever that we recognize the achievements of our past students and alumni. As you continue to succeed and grow in your career, SCCC’s reputation for educating a talented workforce also continues to grow. Each issue of AlumNews that highlights the achievements of our alumni is a testament to SCCC’s strength. We are proud to share your accomplishments. The SCCC Foundation Inc. is a constant advocate and promoter of the success of our alumni. The Foundation is a critical component for the continued success of SCCC. Through the stewardship and management of SCCC’s scholarship programs, support of faculty/staff development funds, and relationships with corporate partners, alumni and external stakeholders, the SCCC Foundation plays an important role in building the resources that are necessary to sustain the College’s programs, services, and enrollment growth. By giving to the SCCC Foundation today you are showing your support for SCCC and the work of the Foundation. Your 2011-2012 Annual Fund gift ensures that the meaningful benefits provided by the SCCC Foundation will be sustained now and into the future.
