Summer 2007 Issue
"Why are Community Colleges So Slow to Jump on the Fundraising Bandwagon?"
The author of this provocative article, Donald C. Summers, will be opening ICCD's conference "Growing Giving: Securing Private Support for Your Community College" November 7-9, 2007, with a panel of community college presidents responding. Summers is the director of Principal Consulting, LLC, and his article first appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Summers writes: "...although community colleges serve nearly half of the undergraduates in this country, and unquestionably do the best overall job with poor, first-generation, and minority students, they receive maybe 2 percent of the financial gifts made to higher education. Comparatively speaking, they are raising peanuts."
