Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges
In response to the horrific weather situation over this past weekend created by Hurricane Helene, the Virginia Foundation for Community Foundation Education (VFCCE) is reaching out to you and our many constituents to ask for your generous support to the Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges, to provide emergency funds for our colleges in the regions where the most devastation has occurred:
Virginia Highlands Community College
Southwest Virginia Community College
Mountain Empire Community College
New River Community College
Wytheville Community College
The Emergency Fund for Southwest Virginia Community Colleges will be collected through the VFCCE, and immediately disbursed to the local college foundations. The need is urgent and now.
The VFCCE hosted the Virginia Community College System’s annual legislative reception, and among the notable attendees were Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, Secretary of Education Aimee Rogstad Guidera, Secretary of Labor Bryan Slater, the incoming VCCS Chancellor David Doré, as well as over 270 other esteemed legislators and guests.
The Governor welcomed incoming Chancellor David Doré and said our colleges are “the linchpin” in Virginia’s effort to ensure a well-trained workforce. Doré begins as Chancellor on April 1. Read more about the Governor’s comments here.
