TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (January 30, 2019) — Heather Mitchell, executive director of the Tallahassee Community College Foundation, announced two new gifts and an important partnership at the January 28 meeting of the Tallahassee Community College District Board of Trustees.
Dr. John and Cecilia Keller generously created the Dr. John and Cecilia Keller Scholarship to provide financial assistance for students enrolled at TCC. The donation amounted to $25,000 and will be awarded to a Florida resident that is Non-Pell Grant eligible and has a 3.2 or higher grade point average. Mitchell announced that the TCC Foundation will also award the Keller scholarship recipient with a book scholarship.
Rick Kearney of Mainline Information Systems donated $25,000 to support TCC’s Cleaver and Cork event. Cleaver and Cork is the TCC Foundation’s signature culinary experience benefitting scholarships, educational program opportunities and learning facilities. Kearney has been an avid supporter of the TCC Foundation for several years—he has generously funded several student scholarships and two classroom renovation projects at TCC.
TCC also announced its partnership with HERC for TCC’s first annual Holocaust Education Week. Holocaust Education week will take place on February 4 – 8, 2019. This year’s theme is: Why remember? What is my responsibility?
