Eleven
years ago, Mid-South Community College began a tradition that links visionary,
generous, passionate, and resourceful donors with the men and women directly
benefitting from their amazing investments. The annual Mid-South Community
College Foundation Scholarship Luncheon is truly a great event and is a highlight
of every spring semester.
The
luncheon gives us an ideal opportunity to connect two vitally important pieces
of our puzzle. Our donors have the opportunity to see the results of their
investments in the lives of our students, and the students have the opportunity
to personally thank those who have positively affected their lives. We all know
that we can put a quantitative value on the dollars that are invested in these
scholarships, but none of us could hazard even a rough estimate as to the
ultimate impact of those dollars in changing lives. It is such a tremendously
powerful agent within this educational process, and it is something that we can
never celebrate enough.
