Chairman’s Message<br />
Dear Alumni and Friends,<br />
Along with the <strong>Benedict</strong> <strong>College</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees and the President, Dr. David H. Swinton, I<br />
am pleased to present to you the <strong>2006</strong>-20<strong>07</strong> Annual Giving Report.<br />
We are deeply grateful for your support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Benedict</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Generous people like you are<br />
the reason we’re able to provide financial assistance to deserving students, recruit and<br />
retain top faculty, bring the latest technology to labs and classrooms and<br />
ensure the traditional <strong>Benedict</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> life for students.<br />
Your gifts have a pr<strong>of</strong>ound impact on current <strong>Benedict</strong> students and allow<br />
the <strong>College</strong> to improve academic programs and facilities; <strong>of</strong>fer increased<br />
opportunities for <strong>of</strong>f campus study and internship experiences; and<br />
provide for enhancements in technology for those who work and study<br />
every day on the <strong>Benedict</strong> campus.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> you whose names are listed in this Annual Giving Report made a<br />
difference for <strong>Benedict</strong> <strong>College</strong> students during the <strong>2006</strong>-20<strong>07</strong> year, with<br />
your gifts <strong>of</strong> money and service.<br />
I truly hope that you will stand firmly committed to renewing your<br />
leadership support during the 2008 giving year. In doing so, you will help<br />
the <strong>College</strong> to do an even more effective job <strong>of</strong> educating <strong>Benedict</strong> men<br />
and women to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live<br />
humanely.<br />
You can be reassured that the Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees will continue to work<br />
closely with the President in assessing the needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>Benedict</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Trustees has challenged the alumni to raise 1 million dollars, as<br />
we have challenged ourselves to raise the same.<br />
Your commitment as a donor continues to play a pivotal role in the successful future <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Benedict</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Thank you for your loyalty and generosity, and for believing in us.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
