Words are not sufficient to describe the breadth of support bestowed upon Maysville Community and Rowan Technical Colleges by Emerson Power Transmission.  Emerson has touched virtually every facet of College business.  Most recently, EPT completed payment of a $250,000 pledge that ultimately made the Maysville Community College Technical Center a reality.  Emerson also made substantial in-kind donations to Rowan Technical College.  As a result of their ongoing generosity and trust, the entire district is benefiting from an adept workforce and an industry responsive education system.  Maysville Community and Rowan Technical Colleges are truly grateful for our partnership with Emerson Power Transmission.

The LeBus family is synonymous with educational opportunity for Licking Valley students. Mr. Buddy LeBus� initial gift to Maysville Community College to establish a Center in Cynthiana, KY, was pivotal in the Center�s development. His son, Frazer, furthers the family tradition and commitment to educational excellence by continuing generous annual gifts to the Center, the building program and the day-to-day operation of Licking Valley Center.  Frazer and his wife, Mary, quietly and effectively find ways to serve the Licking Valley Center. Their constant support and interest have helped generate community/school understanding and cooperation in the Licking Valley. They are sterling examples of the importance and impact of philanthropic effort for community college education.
