Sinclair Community College <\/a>is a place where students can prepare for the next steps in their career journey. \u00a0 Having the support or resources to be successful is one way the Foundation Board can help.\u00a0 Zachary Beck<\/a>, Chief Development Officer of Sinclar\u2019s Foundation Board, was once a college student at Sinclair 20 years ago.\u00a0 He agrees that the board\u2019s mission statement coincides with that of the college\u2019s Find the need and endeavor to meet it because the board provides education resources to identified students. Beck\u2019s job is all about being able to help students with the support needed to further their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1960s when Sinclair became a public college, the foundation was created to help future students. It\u2019s because of support from students and staff that foundation boards like these have been able to connect students in ways that other foundations may not. When the Foundation first started in 1969, it was funded mostly for charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe Sinclair Foundation is one of the oldest and largest college foundations in the United States and was founded two years after Sinclair became a public college in the 1960s, makes it one of the oldest community college foundations in the U.S.\u201d Beck said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation is more than a place for students to get access to finding a job or career. In fact, for 10 years the Foundation Office has awarded 16,000 recipients\u2019 scholarships worth more than $13 million, which Zachary said is an accolade to be proud of for a community college like Sinclair. Money like that doesn\u2019t always easily come for programs like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past 10 years we have awarded more than $16,000 in scholarships which is almost $13 million. \u201cLast year we awarded a million and a half or almost three thousand students. In a nutshell, we go ahead and raise money for students like yourself and we turn it around and give it out,\u201d Beck said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By raising this amount of money, the Foundation has given students the ability to make smart work choices. This has allowed students to have a head start in being employed in a career path that meets their qualifications. The same can be said for Zachary. Beck was once a college student back when he first started attending Sinclair in a program formally known as PSCO (now College Credit Plus) while taking general education classes in business education. He obtained a B.S in finance an MBA and a doctorate a few months ago. In addition, he recently transferred credits back to Sinclar and graduated in 2023. He has come full circle with being an alumnus of Sinclair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI would define an alumni as a person who is in a class at Sinclair because our programs range from people who are taking one class as part of the community band program all the way to the high school student or a senior citizen who is here for a lifelong learning program and everything in between\u201d, Beck said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This statement is one of the core testaments to what Sinclair strives for every single student to have the tools and resources to be able to learn and adapt in any career.\u00a0 Sinclair stands out from all the rest because of how student centric the campus is about its relationships with its current students and alumni. That\u2019s how being an alumni can have an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
