In response to the best advice of business, government, and civic leaders in the region, HCC has identified three initiatives for the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign that will greatly enhance our capacity to meet the needs of our service area for years to come. In order to provide hope and opportunity for future generations, HCC's Campaign must successfully address three key needs: endowments, the proposed student services facility, and "greatest needs" funds.

ENDOWMENTS $1 million; named giving opportunities
All great institutions of higher learning rely on the flow of annual income generated from endowments to meet the ever-increasing demands for innovation, creativity, and rapid response. HCC is no different. Endowments ensure long-term funding for critical needs such as:

Scholarships

Academic Support

Technology

Library Support

Benefits to the local community include: educational access to reward academically-talented students and reduce barriers faced by the socioeconomically disadvantaged, convenient access to high-quality academic and career programs, and cultural enrichment programs available to the entire community.

"Endowments are very significant. They take the dollar that you give as a gift and turn it into three or four dollars or more. We can have endowments, and we can invest gifts to the college where they'll be helping students not only now but for the next 20 or 30 years and beyond."

STUDENT SERVICES FACILITY $1 million in seed funds; named giving opportunities

DR. BONNIE L. ROGERS, HCC President/CEO

"My vision of the proposed Student Services Facility is that it would provide a gateway to the college. When students walk on the campus for the first time, there will be one place for them to go to find out how to register, where to go for counseling, and how to get financial aid. It's a question of providing access to our students."

A new Student Services Facility has been proposed for the Hopkinsville Community College campus. A comprehensive internal strategic needs analysis and a feasibility study involving numerous internal and external stakeholders identified such a student-focused facility as the college's highest capital construction priority. A 20,000 square foot student services facility would create a central location for student-friendly support services. Once completed, students would have more convenient, centralized access to student services than at any time in the history of the college. Students would benefit from a support service focal point that welcomes students to campus and provides them with a onestop location for obtaining the assistance needed during their college experience.

The facility would serve as an open, inviting gateway to Hopkinsville Community College. The primary entrance and concourse would be connected to the existing pedestrian mall. The proposed $4 million facility would feature an atrium/foyer and student commons area, and it would house the following campus functions/departments:

Admissions

Student Activities

Counseling Center

Student Government

Financial Aid

Student Records

Office of the Dean of Student Affairs

Testing

Office of the Registrar

Vending/Snack Area

Recruitment Office

Veteran's Affairs

DR. BONNIE L. ROGERS, HCC President/CEO

"A community is making an investment in the future. It's making an investment in the future of its young people. State funds are never enough to ensure quality. We are right on that edge of excellence. Private dollars allow us to go that step beyond what public dollars don't permit us to do."

"GREATEST NEEDS" FUNDS $1 million
Unrestricted funds provide HCC essential flexibility and responsiveness to unexpected opportunities and challenges. Benefits to the local community include: a flexible and responsive community college that supports new economic development efforts, improved productivity and profitability of existing local business/industry via an educated and skilled workforce, quality education for the local citizenry, and a high quality of life for the region.
