When I was a shy and nervous freshman back in 1991, ECCC welcomed me and gave me the footing I needed to grow and learn and mature as a young adult. When I came back to work here in 1997, it was a dream come true to return to a place I loved so much. I give back so that others will continue to have the great experiences that I have had as both student and employee. Here are a few other examples of how your money helps. Through the Oliphant-Martin Faculty Excellence Endowment, the Foundation provides monetary awards to outstanding faculty and staff members, and the Oliphant-Martin Faculty Excellence Grant also awards up to $20,000 each year to selected academic, healthcare and career & technical programs that apply for and qualify for the funds in order to meet special classroom needs that aren’t attainable through regular annual budgets. Our athletic teams also rely heavily on the additional support received through The Warrior Club, a division of the Foundation, to supplement program and travel needs for student-athletes in both the regular and postseason. The Alumni Association also supports our students by providing free giveaways and sponsoring activities throughout the year. Additionally, numerous students are able to afford college each year because of the generosity of those who have donated to our Endowed and Annual Scholarship funds. If you have a particular area that is most important to you, you may designate your funds to specific accounts, or by donating to Unrestricted Funds, we are able to help many different areas as soon as a need arises. Whatever your story, whatever path led you to East Central Community College, I encourage you to give back. Even if it’s just a small amount each month or a one-time donation, it makes a difference. Thank you all so much! East Central Community Col- lege May gr duates Brian Pace and Courtney Gill were named to the 2021 Phi Theta Kappa All- Mississippi Community College Academic Team.
