The Northwest State Community College Board of Trustees met in regular session on Friday, August 24 on the Archbold campus. As part of the meeting, Robbin Wilcox (Executive Director, Development & NSCC Foundation) and Peter Beck (NSCC Foundation Board chairperson) presented a record-setting check for $808,682 to the College from the Northwest State Community College Foundation. The money is designated for student scholarships, equipment, STEM outreach programs and support for students.
Over $4 million has been provided through the generosity of businesses and individuals who have supported the Foundation over the past ten years. Peter Beck, chair of the NSCC Foundation, noted that the support comes from within the NSCC campus, as well as throughout the community. “The (NSCC) Foundation works hard to allow us to do the things we can do for this College and its students,” Beck said. “This is a very exciting day,” Beck concluded.
