Campaign Update

Jennifer Brown, Chairwoman of the 2020 Board of Directors and the STCC Foundation Development Committee, expressed gratitude to the generous donors who stepped up during one of the most challenging year’s in the college’s history.

“We are grateful to each and every one of our donors who recognized the critical importance of a gift to the STCC Foundation,” Brown said. “Many of STCC’s students were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a sharp downturn in the economy. They faced financial hardships and food insecurities, yet our students were determined to continue their education to enhance the quality of their lives. That wouldn’t be possible without donor support during the capital campaign of 2020. On behalf of the STCC Foundation, I want to say thank you to every individual and business that offered support.”

Denise Hurst, Vice President of Advancement and External Affairs, said donor support helps keep costs down for STCC students.

“STCC offers the most affordable pathway to a college degree or certificate in Springfield thanks in large part to donor support,” Hurst said. “A gift to the STCC Foundation not only transforms lives of students, but fosters economic vitality in the region. The Foundation was created to help STCC meet its goals and commitment to provide superior educational opportunities to the community. Fundraising is one of the primary ways the Foundation accomplishes its mission.”
