September 23, 2013 | SharkAdmin [image 1] Thank you NVC Employees for your generous support of the Employee Giving Campaign. In the first week of the campaign (week of Sept. 16-20), 16 employees donated which resulted in $15,116. For weekly updates, click here. There are two goals this year: Goal 1 – Reach 40 percent NVC employee participation rate, or 126 employees. Weekly we need 16 employee donors. Goal 2 – Raise $60,000 in employee donations at NVC. In 2012, NVC employees raised $57,944.12. NVC employees can give to the United Way, the Fund for the Arts or to the Alamo Colleges Foundation, which includes district and NVC-specific scholarships. Two scholarships you may want to consider: NVC Psychology Department Scholarship (Code 5007) to support students like Amanda Rios (pictured above).
