2008 Fall Scholarship Reception
The ACC Foundation's Fall Scholarship Reception was held on the evening of October 22, 2008 in the Student Center on the Adirondack Community College Campus. This annual reception is held to honor both the individuals responsible for sponsoring and supporting annual scholarships and the recipients receiving these scholarships. It gives recipients the opportunity to personally acknowledge their sponsors while being formally recognized.
Over 100 people attended the Scholarship Reception. Those on hand to congratulate donors and recipients included family members, members of the ACC Foundation Board of Directors, College Trustees, and College faculty and staff.
Foundation Director and Chair of the Scholarship Committee, Robert Joy, again hosted the Fall Scholarship Reception. Three scholarship recipients spoke about the opportunity offered to them by their scholarships, reminding us of the power of having a dream and of getting an education to achieve that dream.
