2024 GRATITUDE REPORT

The Ripple Effect

Creating Waves of Positive Change

Dear CCV Donors and Friends, The act of making a gift often has far-reaching impacts that extend well beyond the initial contribution, much like a pebble tossed in a quiet pond. As we reflect on this past year, we are struck by the power of this ‘ripple effect’ generated by CCV’s philanthropic community.

The students featured in this report, including Amber Moriglioni, a Life Gap Grant recipient who is now a peer mentor for the program, Caitlin McGinley, a Free Degree Promise graduate and one of CCV’s youngest commencement speakers, and Bethany Kriger, a Buffum Single Parent Scholarship recipient who plans to become a lawyer advocating for children and families, are a testament to the ‘ripple effect.’ Each of these students embodies the transformative power of our community’s support and the positive change that can be achieved through our collective efforts.

With your generosity and partnership, we are touching student lives and creating ripples of positive change throughout Vermont. We want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and shared belief in our mission.

Together we are making a difference in the lives of our students and the communities they serve. Thank you for being a vital part of CCV’s ‘ripple effect!’

With gratitude,

Joyce Judy, President

The Community College of Vermont supports and challenges all students in meeting their educational goals through an abiding commitment to access, affordability, and student success.

FREE DEGREE PROMISE

CCV Student Speaker Earns College Degree at 19 An ‘old soul’: it’s how a lot of people describe Caitlin McGinley. And after just a few minutes of conversation, the description strikes as perfectly apt. Her soft-spoken nature belies a robust curiosity about the world.

In 2022, Caitlin’s curiosity led her to CCV. She wondered what it would be like to spend her senior year of high school in college. It would be a huge change—leaving her school and her friends to jump into life as a full-time college student.

But Caitlin isn’t one to shy away from a challenge, so she decided to sign up for Early College, a unique opportunity for Vermont high school seniors to complete their last year of high school and their first year of college at the same time.

CCV 2024 Gratitude Report

As she neared the end of her Early College year, Caitlin thought about transferring; she felt ready for a traditional college experience.

But then she found out about the Free Degree Promise, a program generously supported by the McClure Foundation that builds on Early College to give students the chance to complete a CCV associate degree at no cost to them or their families.

Learn more about the Free Degree Promise at ccv.edu/FreeDegree

THE RIPPLE EFFECT During her time at CCV, Caitlin served as an ambassador for the Free Degree Promise, encouraging others to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. As icing on the cake, Caitlin was nominated to be the student speaker for CCV’s 2024 Commencement ceremony where she praised more than 500 of her fellow graduates.

“You all are role models for anyone considering pursuing education at any stage of life.”

As I kept going and maturing, I think I realized that it was kind of an opportunity that I shouldn’t pass up,” she says. “Plus, I really enjoyed my Early College year, so I was like ‘I feel like this is just the right thing to do.’”

Career Services Prepare Students for Success

Since 2015, the McClure Foundation has played an instrumental role in the development of Career Services at CCV. In this time, staffing for career services has evolved from three part-time career consultants to a full-time coordinator position, which then became a manager of career learning. The College has now established a director-level position, underscoring the increased visibility, significance, and institutional commitment to career development.

In the most recent chapter of this partnership, CCV received funding in 2021 to support the integration of career learning opportunities into our courses.

Through this grant, essential learning objectives emphasizing career exploration and work-based learning were approved and added to all introductory courses across all CCV program areas.

The J. Warren & Lois McClure Foundation is a supporting organization of the Vermont Community Foundation.

We are so grateful to the McClure Foundation for their support in fortifying the link between classes and careers as exemplified by CCV faculty members like Robert Kirk.

Robert Kirk teaches art and design courses, and his curriculum includes informational interviews with working professionals. In addition to practical tips and networking, students gain something even more important from these conversations: confidence. Kirk also guides students through small group community-based projects. For example, students might work with an environmental non-profit to design logos and branding that supports their communications efforts. Sometimes these projects have unexpected bonuses, like a student who was hired to paint a mural in an office building. “It opened up an opportunity to do real work—that’s the ideal,” said Kirk.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT The Life Gap program is entirely funded from philanthropic donations and grants. As this program has grown and evolved over the past seven years, it has helped thousands of CCV students stay in school and attain their educational goals. Many of these students have now graduated and they are nurses, teachers, social workers, and business owners contributing to the vitality of our Vermont communities.

AUGUST 2017 The Life Gap Program began with a single private donor who has contributed over $1 million dollars over the past 7 years.

LIFE GAP PROGRAM

Cultivating Community Through Life Gap Amber Moriglioni always knew that attending college was an important step toward reaching her dreams of working with young students. She started at CCV in 2022 pursuing a degree in behavioral science, with the plan to transfer and complete a 4-year degree after graduating in 2025. “I really hope to work as a behavioral specialist or as a guidance counselor, specifically in the public school system,” she said.

broke down and I was stressed because I took all in-person classes,” she said. Amber received a Life Gap grant to help with car repairs so she could get to class, no strings attached. “I’ve never been more grateful for anything in my life,” Amber said.

While going to college was an easy choice, what hasn’t been easy is life getting in the way. “I first heard about the Life Gap program when my car

THE RIPPLE EFFECT Amber has been able to combine her passion for helping others and her personal experiences with the Life Gap program by becoming a peer mentor in the CCV-Rutland Student Resource Center. Amber is just one of many students the Life Gap program has supported, and through her work as a peer mentor she continues to offer that help to others while cultivating a sense of community and belonging at CCV.

Empowering Student Parents

Nicole Talbert is using the Victoria Buffum Single Parent Scholarship to pursue her dream of becoming a sports psychologist. As a single mother, the idea of going back to school as an adult student was daunting for Nicole. She worried about money and the time commitment. “I didn’t know how I would be able to take classes, and make a small income, and be available for my daughter when she needed me.”

Now in its second year, the scholarship is helping a new cohort of student parents pursue their dream of earning a college degree. “It’s been hugely helpful,” Nicole says. “Knowing that either my car payment is going to be made without the stress of me needing to pick up extra shifts, or groceries every week, which is a big deal.”

Bethany Kriger is raising four teenagers on her own, and the scholarship is helping her to set a positive example for her kids. “The most important thing that you can ever teach anyone is that it’s just never too late to do the thing that you wanted to do.”

For her, the scholarship is enabling a courageous life change that wouldn’t be possible without significant support. Bethany returned to school at 45, determined to finish the college degree she’d started years earlier with the goal of going into family law and becoming an advocate for children.

“It’s so expensive to have children, as everybody knows, and it’s expensive to live,” says Bethany.

“I don’t know how I would honestly be making this semester work at all if I didn’t have this scholarship.

It’s a game-changer.”

The Victoria Buffum scholarship is the result of a $1M gift from the Courtney and Victoria Buffum Family Foundation, which established an endowed fund at the Vermont Community Foundation that generates the annual award. Vicki was an entrepreneur and philanthropist with a deep desire to help others—particularly women and children at risk—and she was a single mother herself.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT Since the initial gift is invested and only the annual earnings are distributed, the Victoria Buffum scholarship amplifies the ripple effect by providing ongoing financial support for CCV students. After graduation, students pursuing careers like Nicole and Bethany go out into the Vermont community and work in jobs helping others, making a positive impact that extends well beyond the initial gift.

Why They Give Alumni represent between 15-25% of CCV donors each year. It often takes time for alumni to reach a point in their careers when they can start giving back. Donations from our alumni are typically modest but extremely meaningful.

Here are two examples of CCV alumni from the past decade who have recently donated to the College and their reasons for doing so. Just as the impact of a single pebble extends beyond the initial splash, we hope the generosity of these alumni will inspire others to follow suit.

To all CCV alumni who give, we are immensely grateful for your decision to pay it forward and support current students. Your generosity is deeply appreciated!

As a young adult my private, and unspoken, goal was to become a veterinarian. Until I enrolled at CCV, I thought the cost and time to follow that path would be impossible. Access to great faculty and rigorous science courses helped inspire me to “make it work” and the guaranteed acceptance program to University of Vermont motivated me to perform academically even as I balanced a full-time job.

I donate to CCV because I strongly believe every Vermonter deserves an accessible education. Without CCV many affordable programs, available on the schedule of working Vermonters, would disappear.

My education at CCV has allowed me the privilege of learning and practicing veterinary medicine throughout the country, and around the world. By donating generously, I hope whoever comes after me can experience the same life changing opportunity.”

TAYLOR YEATES, Richmond, VT Veterinarian CCV AS, STEM Studies 2015-2016 UVM BS, Biological Sciences 20172020 Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine DVM, 2020-2023

My associate degree from the CCV is one of my most significant accomplishments and it inspired me to complete my bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine in Orono, which I began in the 1980s. It also gave me the tools to take on new challenges at work.

I am grateful to CCV for their dedicated advisors, who helped me map out my academic schedule. Their flexible course offerings allowed me to take one class each semester, including summers, until I had earned enough credits to graduate.

Because of this support and flexibility, I was able to achieve my educational goals while balancing my professional and personal responsibilities.

I am proud to help support those students who are just entering the process by making an annual donation to the General Scholarship Fund.”
