A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION
Dear Foundation Supporters:
It is with great pleasure that I greet you as the President of the
Kirtland Community College Foundation. The
Foundation, which was founded in 1972, has benefited many students and
faculty through grants and scholarships. Likewise, the Foundation has
benefited from the talents and commitment of the volunteer Trustees who
have served over this same period.
The Foundation is currently providing $14,000 for scholarships and
$25,000 in grants. These dollars support a variety of curricula such as
Nursing, Math, Cosmetology and Massage Therapy
to name a few. On-going grants have been used to support the Kirtland
Youth Theatre, the Young Writer’s Seminar and more recently the Katrina
Relief effort, which involved sending volunteers from the
Building Trades Program.
I think we can all be proud of the efforts of the Foundation to
support and encourage our students and faculty in their pursuit of
excellence. It is apparent that the dollars raised and reinvested at
Kirtland are paying significant dividends. With your generous support
the Kirtland Community College Foundation
will continue to give scholarships and grants to ensure excellence in
our curriculum, students, faculty and the infrastructure that supports
them.
We would encourage you to consider making an annual contribution to
the Foundation as an investment in our community’s future. Kirtland
Community College is dedicated to offering the training and skills so
vitally needed in our local job market. Please consider joining this
effort with your financial support.
Sincerely,
C. A. “Pepper” Karstendiek
President
Kirtland Community College Foundation
