ollege’s alumni
Again this year, alumni from Goldey College, Beacom College and Goldey-Beacom are making Annual Fund contributions to help current students in need while at the same time, honoring the memory of a lost classmate or faculty member Gifts are also arriving from graduates who want
to pay tribute to a special teacher or family member who had an impact on their academic journey
When you make the decision to contribute to the Goldey-Beacom College Annual Fund, you re probably thinking back to your time in college and the feeling of immense pride that came with your achievement Perhaps you also recall special help you received Remembering your struggles and financial difficulties, makes it easier to understand the needs of our current students At this time, when difficult financial decisions are being made
around the world and most poignantly, within the walls of your own home, the College is genuinely grateful for your kindness in addressing the needs of the many students who, like you, have entrusted their futures to GoldeyBeacom College
