26 CHANGING LIVES BUILDING FUTURES 1 [ ] THE MAJOR GIFTS CAMPAIGN OF AIKEN TECHNICAL COLLEGE 2 Photos 1-2: (1) Joe Buggy, a member of the Aiken County Commission for Technical and Comprehensive Education, and (2) Pat Cunning, chair of the ATC Foundation Board of Trustees, are serving as co-chairs of the “Changing Lives & Building Futures” Major Gifts Campaign. The Major Gifts Campaign Aiken Technical College relies on private funds to supplement the public and institutional funds it receives. In line with its phenomenal growth and its promise for the future, the College embarked on a capital campaign to procure private funds in several areas of growth. Two prominent community leaders stepped forward to co-chair this major undertaking of the College. Joe Buggy and Pat Cunning both believe in the mission of the College and support the ATC Foundation. The capital campaign has raised more than $2 million to meet the needs of ATC. The impact that these gifts have made on the lives of students, faculty, staff and the community is significant. It is evident that the accomplishments of the Aiken Technical College Foundation are “Changing Lives and Building Futures.” A Message from the Campaign Co-Chairs As Co-Chairs of the Aiken Technical College Major Gifts Campaign we feel that education is the key to all our futures. In the Central Savannah River Area,ATC has provided accessible, affordable and quality education to local citizens while meeting the workforce training needs of local business and industry. ATC has demonstrated merits and now is asking for our assistance. We look forward to the challenge of helping to lead ATC into the 21 st Century. We are supportive of the campaign and believe the community will get behind the College. It is a privilege for both of us to serve in this capacity on behalf of Aiken Technical College. For more than 30 years,ATC has provided thousands of area residents with the opportunity to pursue higher education. During the 2003-2004 academic year, ATC had 3,600 students enroll in credit courses, and ATC’s non-credit offerings reach nearly 14,000 people. By providing education and training where people live and work,ATC offers residents the opportunity to complete certificate, diploma and associate degree programs that prepare them to enter
27 a career field or to transfer to a baccalaureate institution. Day and evening classes enable working adults to update their professional skills at times that are compatible with their work and family responsibilities. The College provides an effective workforce to support economic growth and community stability through its focus on teaching and community service. As a technical college, ATC must keep up with program and technological advances. The college must ensure that all students learn the latest technology in all fields. To continue to meet the training and economic development needs and expectations of the greater Aiken community, Aiken Technical College Foundation has embarked on a major gifts campaign to provide dollars to keep ATC a leader of economic development and quality education. We are asking for the full support of the community in this fund raising effort.
