CVTC Foundation Proud Recipient of Inland’s Donation |
Inland Paperboard and Packaging, Incorporated, Rome, recently committed to donating the total sum of $30,000 to Coosa Valley Technical College’s Foundation over the next three years, $10,000 each year. The donation will be given to the Foundation for three needed areas for the school’s growth and development: 1) Equipment Purchases; 2) Building Faculty Expertise; and 3) Public Relations and Marketing.
John R. Ware II, Inland Training Specialist and member of CVTC’s Board of Directors, was on hand to present the first check to Coosa Valley Technical College’s president, Craig McDaniel. “We are so fortunate to have the support of the local business and industry in our region in helping CVTC acquire funds for the expansion and growth of the College. With private support from foundations, corporations, and individuals, Coosa Valley Technical College is able to meet the opportunities and challenges it now faces and continue to make a difference in our community,” said President McDaniel.
Coosa Valley Technical College Foundation launched its “ Making a Difference in Our Community,” campaign in Fall 2001. Extensive planning and research revealed that equipment upgrades and enhancements, faculty development, and public relations and marketing were priority needs for CVTC.
With three campuses in Floyd, Gordon, and Polk counties, in addition to the Business Expansion Center located in Rome, CVTC’s quarterly enrollment averages 3,000 students with 250 supporting faculty and staff. Last year, CVTC offered the associate of applied technology degree, diplomas in 32 areas of study, and a variety of technical certificates of credit. Both faculty and administrators remain in contact with corporate and industry leaders in the community to determine their needs.
A strong indicator that technical education is moving in the right direction is CVTC’s growth in numbers. For seven consecutive quarters, Coosa Valley Technical College’s student enrollment has hit all time records. Since it’s beginning, over 100,000 people have enrolled at CVTC. More and more people are discovering how technical education can help them in their current jobs.
“We are extremely grateful to corporations such as Inland that make it possible for CVTC to offer every citizen, business, and industry in Floyd, Gordon, and Polk counties better workforce opportunities to continue our region’s economic growth.”
