Dear Alumni, Staff, Faculty, Business Leaders, and Friends,
Hello, and thank you for the warm welcome I have received as the new Executive Director of the Central Penn College Education Foundation. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve in this role. Less than a year after relocating to Central Pennsylvania and only 90 days into my position, I have already witnessed the extraordinary generosity and commitment this community has for Central Penn students. Your philanthropy has sustained a tradition of opportunity that has transformed lives for generations since the College's founding in 1881.
That legacy was further strengthened in 1983 with the establishment of the Central Penn College Education Foundation, creating a dedicated source of scholarship support. Through the generosity of donors like you, countless students have overcome financial barriers, earned degrees, and gone on to make meaningful contributions in their professions and communities. As I begin this new chapter, I am inspired by the remarkable community of alumni, donors, faculty, staff, and friends who have advanced this mission for more than 140 years.
I am committed to honoring the trust you have placed in the Foundation, stewarding your gifts responsibly, and strengthening the relationships that make our work possible. Over the coming year, I hope you will deepen your connection with the Foundation by attending an event, meeting a scholarship recipient, serving as a mentor, or sharing your vision for Central Penn's future. To those I have already met, thank you for welcoming me into your community and sharing your personal connection to Central Penn and the reasons you support its mission.
Whether you have supported the Foundation for years or recently joined our community of donors, your generosity is helping students realize their dreams. I welcome the opportunity to learn more about your connection to Central Penn College and what inspires your support of the Foundation. Please feel free to write, call, or visit the Foundation office on the third floor of the ATEC Building, Suite 305. Hearing your story will help us continue building meaningful partnerships, advancing our mission, and strengthening the legacy of educational access that began in 1881.
Thank you for being an essential part of our history and our future. I look forward to connecting with you and sharing the impact of your support in the months ahead.
With appreciation,
