On November 8, 2013, the resurrected TCI Community College Foundation Board, chaired by Ms Claudette Monroe Clare, and supported by a hard-working, dedicated cast of residents, hosted a gala affair at the Regent Palms Resort & Spa in Provo.
The primary purpose of the event was to raise much needed funds to support the TCICC in its efforts to provide scholarships to academically deserving students who wish to matriculate at the institution and to enhance the academic offerings and infrastructure at the two campuses in Grand Turk and Provo.
The commitment to the tertiary educational development of the young and not so young people of this country, evidenced by the generous financial support of businesses and individuals (one who anonymously gave $20, 000 and Mr. Mervin Cox who donated a refrigerator and a stove to the Hospitality Department), resulted in approximately $55, 000 to benefit students and the TCICC.
President of the TCICC Lee Ingham thanked the Administration, Faculty and Staff, “I want to take this opportunity to thank all the corporate and individual citizens of the TCI, especially those in Provo, for their generous support.
I look forward to a continuous, symbiotic relationship with the TCI community, welcome suggestions and ideas as we all strive to meet the educational objectives of our students-clientele and our country.”
The Community College will now be able to commence the implementation while working on other projects in 2014.
