a Quality Education is a Fundamental Right

Words cannot express how honored I am to chair the Gateway Community College Foundation Board of Directors. I have been a GCCF Board member since 2012. I always marveled at my fellow Board members’ commitment to the educational mission of Gateway Community College and their remarkable efforts to support students, faculty, and staff. As Board Chair, I pledge that we will continue those efforts in 2022 and beyond.

2020 brought unprecedented challenges and changes and deeply affected the Gateway Community College “family” especially our students. I am so proud of the way the GCC Foundation doubled and redoubled efforts to support Gateway students determined to transform their lives through education. We will do everything within our power to advance equity, diversity, and educational excellence; bring opportunity within reach for everyone; and help build the skilled workforce tomorrow’s world will need. With the help of our caring donors and community, I know the Gateway Community College Foundation will continue to help Gateway students achieve their dreams of a brighter future.
