The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a major component of the Alumni Program and vital to the College. Gifts to the Annual Fund are used exclusively to provide direct support to students, faculty development, and to enhance programs and facilities. In addition to scholarships, alumni have generously supported other special projects such as DCCC’s Library, New Building and Chester County Campaigns, while Phi Theta Kappa alumni successfully raised over $5,000 to double the Honor Society's newly endowed scholarship fund to $10,000.

The Gateway to Opportunity Capital Campaign is the College’s most exciting campaign to date. A $60 million construction project for programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as the “STEM” fields, the new STEM Complex will accommodate the College’s growth while positioning it as a leader in preparing the regional workforce for a global economy.

Co-chairs, Gateway to Opportunity Capital Campaign for the STEM Complex
As alumni, we share a common educational experience regardless of our reasons for choosing Delaware County Community College. We received a quality education and a strong foundation upon which to build our academic and career goals. Today’s student still enjoys the College’s unique brand of education that you enjoyed as a student, including the benefits of open enrollment and affordable tuition, despite the demand on resources.
For alumni, the value of our diploma increases as the image of the College is strengthened in the community. The Gateway to Opportunity Capital Campaign, as Annual Fund continues to be, is a terrific opportunity to not only be involved with a major initiative, but also to ‘give back’ to the institution that made such a difference for you.

2005 Recipient of DCCC Alumni Professional Achievement Award
When I enrolled at DCCC over 30 years ago, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was a young student, newly minted from high school, and the first generation in my family to attend college. Some very special DCCC faculty members sparked my interest in science at a time when the field was dominated by men. I credit DCCC with inspiring me to learn, break down barriers and set me on a path to success.
Today, thanks to DCCC, I find myself doing extraordinary things. I bring my passion for teaching to the classroom as I lecture young physicians in cancer cell biology.
Each DCCC student, no matter how different, speaks to the power of what can be accomplished in our families, our communities and our world. Alumni contributions ensure that each student will have the chance to do something extraordinary! That's why I support to the Annual Fund

Like many alumni, I learned essential life lessons at DCCC. By setting goals, working diligently and challenging myself to achieve my dreams, I experienced a personal fulfillment that I never thought possible.
My DCCC experience became a family affair! My father and brother followed my lead and earned degrees from DCCC. My mother and sister also attended DCCC. When my father retired, my brother and I became partners, running the family business in an industry marked by quick technological and structural shifts. Thanks to DCCC, we are well equipped to tackle these challenges.
At DCCC, I learned the importance of "giving back" while participating in student government. Today, I still find time to give time and resources to DCCC. After all, it played a vital role in my success. That is why I support the Annual Fund. I invite you to do the same. Your generosity will ensure students will be better suited to achieve their goals and enhance their skills in an ever-changing world.
