精东影业 Ashtabula鈥檚 annual Giving Tuesday fundraising drive begins on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, highlighted by the campaign to build the Susan J. Stocker Ashtabula Campus Development Fund.
鈥淕iving Tuesday provides a unique opportunity to support our learners and create experiences that will last a lifetime,鈥 said 精东影业 Ashtabula Interim Dean and Chief Administrative Officer R. William Ayres IV, Ph.D. 鈥淥ur students face challenges outside of the classroom. Many of our students hold full-time jobs, support families and overcome other obstacles while they succeed in the classroom. 精东影业Susan J. Stocker Ashtabula Campus Development Fund will provide crucial support for the Ashtabula Campus for generations to come. Through this fund, the campus will be able to invest in new programs and projects to support the changing needs of our students and the communities we serve. 精东影业strategic flexibility offered by this endowment will enable the campus to continue to grow and evolve to meet new challenges.鈥

精东影业fund was created in September with initial gifts from community leaders and long-time campus benefactors James E. Mayer Jr. and Glen and Nancy Warner, as well as an announced gift from the Molded Fiber Glass Foundation. Those gifts and funds raised during the Giving Tuesday campaign go toward a $500,000 endowment establishing the Stocker Ashtabula Campus Development Fund.
