WELCOME TO THE NEMCC FOUNDATION
I write with the hopes that you will join me in supporting the NEMCC Development Foundations mission to solicit and receive gifts to support students, faculty and administration at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Sharing in our mission provides all of us with a wonderful opportunity to work together to transform both the College and our students lives.
The assistance provided through the Foundation lowers barriers to a higher education and changes the lives of those students who cannot afford to attend college. It will change the life of the student who is working full-time and taking courses at night. It will change the life of the single mother who is attending NEMCC in order to make life better for her family. More than this, by changing these lives, we will also change our community. Many of the individuals who receive Foundation assistance will someday serve as leaders in our community.
Education frees; but education, as we all know, is not free. In order to bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and NEMCC students ability to pay, we call on alumni, friends, and neighbors to invest in the College and the community. We also call upon our corporate and business community to partner with us to make the academic and career dreams of NEMCC students become a reality.
I hope you will join with me and the many others who have already made gifts in support of so many deserving students.
Sincerely,
D. Patrick Eaton, MBA, CFRE
VP of Institutional Advancement and Foundation Executive Director
A Quality Investment for Excellence
