2008 President's Report

Inspiring Greatness

Recently, Jones embarked on the “Inspiring Greatness...It begins with us” major gifts campaign. The college family, faculty, staff and administration, combined to present the JCJC Foundation with a check of $282,825 this past spring.

That money, which will be added to the total raised during the external campaign, will be used for initiatives identified through the campaign.

The Foundation is an integral part of the college, providing over 514 students scholarships that total over $288,350 each year. The Foundation also raises money with the annual alumni golf tournament and provides the community with educational opportunities such as the annual Economic and Technology Symposium and the Gardening Symposium. The JCJC Foundation & Alumni sponsor events and activities during Homecoming and throughout the year.
