CAMPUS PRIORITY LIST
Brandon: The Brandon Campus Employee Campaign
Committee set a fundraising goal that will enable
the campus to create outdoor flex spaces that would
highlight the outdoor nature of the campus and
create places that students can gather for interaction
and engagement in addition to spaces for quiet study.
Dale Mabry: The Dale Mabry Campus Campaign
Committee goal focused on increasing support to
beautify several outdoor spaces on the campus.
The campus will look forward to adding flowerbeds,
installing new umbrellas for the tables, garbage cans,
and freshening up fresh paint job with the funds that
they raised.

enhancements. As a result, they will be installing
additional lighting and signage in campus parking
lots and garages and purchasing a golf cart for Public
Safety to provide escort services.

memorial to honor his memory.
SouthShore: Through the success of their
fundraising, the SouthShore Campus will be
implementing a beautification project to enhance the
new SouthShore Campus entryway from Shell Point
Road.
In addition to the campus priority projects, thanks
to our employee donors we were also able to help
support our students financially through scholarships,
students like Selina, who as a single mother of two
small children attended HCC full-time while working
full time as well.
She expressed her gratitude by saying:
FACULTY AND STAFF
SUPPORT
This year’s Employee
Campaign, themed Love Gives,
was an expression of the value
held for what we do here at
HCC.Our faculty and staff
believe deeply in our mission
and are inspired to give
back through their financial
support. We were delighted
that once again, so many
employees participated in this
year’s campaign and that we
were received an increase of
donations from existing and
new donors, as testament to
the love the HCC family shares
for the work being done on
behalf of our students at the
College and for each other.
Led by each Campus
President, each campus chose
a funding priority with the
unique needs of their students
in mind. These included
beautification projects,
new lighting and signage to
enhance public safety, as well
as the creation of inspiring
spaces for students to gather
or study. Scholarships also
remained a primary focus for
giving. As an added incentive
for campus giving, the
William Gregory Foundation
generously matched $1,000 for
each campus for new donors,
donors who increased their
gift, and new recurring gift
donors who gave towards the
campus priority.
“I believe in in the power of education and perseverance. Hence, it is why being given this
scholarship not only motivates me, but also allows me to persevere.”
