The Council for Advancement and Support of Education announced Hopkinsville Community College as one of its 2021 Circle of Excellence Award winners.
HCC received the Silver Award for its entry in the Fundraising on a Shoestring Category.
Regarding HCC’s award-winning project, the CASE 2021 Circle of Excellence judging panel stated, “The weaving of the school’s mascot and Pathfinder focus throughout this campaign theme is masterful. Confirms that, for the most part, philanthropy is personal, and donor passion drives it most often.”
Winners are selected based on several factors, including overall quality, innovation, use of resources and the impact on the institution or its external and internal communities, such as alumni, parents, students, and faculty and staff.
HCC President Dr. Alissa Young in a news release says, “We are grateful to our generous community for supporting the students of HCC, especially as we have added additional resources including Pathfinder Pantry and the Goode Family Student Emergency Fund. Increasingly, we are finding innovative ways to meet the needs of our students as they work to build better lives for themselves and their families. I commend our Institutional Advancement Office team for this remarkable achievement and international recognition.”
