Why I Give
As an alum, I have a deep appreciation for the institution’s commitment to education and community development, values that have continued to resonate with me throughout my career. By giving back, I hope to enhance the educational experience for current and future students, fostering an environment that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and personal development. This donation represents not only a financial contribution but also a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the role the institution has played in shaping my professional journey and the lives of countless others.
City Colleges of Chicago empowers all residents of Chicago and beyond to better themselves, their families, and their communities.
This small gift is to encourage, inspire, and feed inspiration to those future students pursuing their dreams. Education is empowering, and having the inspiration to pursue one is outstanding.
