СÓÅÊÓƵ Recognized for Sustained Excellence in Fundraising
СÓÅÊÓƵ has been recognized by the Council for the Support and Advancement of Education (CASE) with a 2015 Educational Fundraising Award for Overall Performance. And because the college has garnered a CASE award for educational fundraising in three of the last five years, it also was recognized with a 2015 Sustained Excellence in Educational Fundraising Award.
"It is because of the tireless work and unyielding passion of СÓÅÊÓƵ's alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff that we are recognized at the national level for our fundraising success," said Eileen Keeley '89, vice president for college relations. "It is a privilege to work at a place that so deeply believes in providing an exceptional education for its students, and we are able to provide these amazing opportunities because of the dedication and support of the СÓÅÊÓƵ community."
