VOL 4’ No. 4 outlo 0k Nov. / Dec. 1988 A Publication of Florida Community College at Jacksonville Earth—shattering news about Student Center The sun was shining as brightly as the future of the new Student Center at North Campus, as local dignitaries and FCCJ officials participated in a ground— breaking ceremony Oct. 19. The $4.5 million building will house the Institute of the South for Hospitali- ty and Culinary Arts, as well as support services for counseling and student activities. (See related story on the Institute in this issue.) The symbolism of the ground— breaking ceremony signifies a “new era” of educational opportunities, said Dr. Ezekiel Bryant, provost of North Campus. “This building is one more step in the kind of vigorous support we give to students,” said FCCJ President Charles Spence. The hospitality industry is the largest industry in the state and in the nation, according to John Wright, president of the Chef’s Association. The center is needed not only in Jacksonville but throughout the United States, Wright said. Ted Waterbury, president of the Jacksonville Restaurant Association, said, “We must have formal training to continue in the process of elevating our profession.” F.

Because FCCJ is tax—supported, and not tax—funded, the tax money will only go so far, said Pam Caven, project coor- dinator of the Annual Fund. The An— nual Fund is seen as making up the margin of excellence. The fund is targeted for such requests as student scholarships, professional development for faculty and staff, up‘ dating computer systems and other areas of need. The Foundation’s primary role is to raise money in the community, match- ing the right people and their resources with the right causes. Employees also play a vital role by investing in the College. “You have to look at home first, to do all you can,” Caven said. “It legitimizes our request when we go to the community and say: ‘We’ve done everything we can do to support ourselves. And now we call upon you (the corporate community) to invest in the College.’ “We’re hoping the campaign will generate about $30,000,” Caven said. The campaign is planned to come to an end about Dec. 15, but contribu- tions will be accepted throughout the year. Contributors may donate all at once or use the payroll deduction plan. In addition to the Annual Fund cam- paign, which is primarily generating contributions from employees, the Foundation is also charged with raising approximately $600,000 in support of the College’s strategic plan. This money is earmarked for scholarships, the crea— tion of a teaching/learning center, new computers and instructional equipment, computer classes for disabled students and other areas of need at the College. In addition, the Foundation is com‘ mitted to maintaining $250,000 in ongoing support for scholarships, pro— gram support and college promotion. “The Foundation has the responsibili- ty to bring in the $850,000 during the 1988—89 fiscal year,” Caven said. Caven joined the College in August, filling a new position in the Founda- tion. Caven’s work will help free up Foundation Executive Director Art Rup— pel to develop other, larger projects to HI.) AV-vtlTW‘ raise money for FCCJ. Through the Foundation, Caven will be a liaison to contacts in charge of corporate giving for area companies. She will also be orchestrating activities designed to generate more publicity about the College as it relates to fund raising.
