Largest cash gift in college\u2019s history will support need-based scholarships.<\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
On Monday, CC announced a high-impact gift of more than $18 million from the estate of the late William \u201cBill\u201d Clement \u201942. The bequest represents the largest cash gift from an individual in the college\u2019s history.\u202f <\/p>\n

Clement attended CC on a scholarship funded by Illinois area alumni. In a letter he wrote to the college in 1981, Clement shared, \u201cI look back on my CC years with much pleasure and gratitude.\u201d During his time at CC, he served as editor-in-chief for the Tiger, CC\u2019s school newspaper at the time, and was an active member of the debate team, swim team, and thespian group. Through his involvement on campus, he demonstrated a dedication to critical thinking with a commitment to reason, fairness, and challenging prevailing norms.\u202f <\/p>\n

The gift was given to the college without any restrictions and will provide tremendous fuel to ignite the passion and potential of students for generations to come. $16 million of the gift has been designated by the college’s Board of Trustees to CC\u2019s endowment to support financial aid and further the college\u2019s commitment to increased access across the socioeconomic spectrum. <\/p>\n

\u201cSupport from our alumni is one of the greatest testaments to the transformational impact of a CC education,” says Molly Bodnar, Interim VP for Advancement. “We\u2019re excited to carry the spirit of Mr. Clement\u2019s generosity forward with a new gift-maximizing challenge that invites alumni, students, families, and the broader community to make a gift and double their impact.”\u202f  <\/p>\n

Join us\u202fThursday, Feb. 22 from 4-6 p.m.\u202ffor a presentation by Bryan Dewsbury, Associate Professor of Biological Science at Florida International University. Enjoy light refreshments in\u202fCornerstone Main Space from 4-5 p.m. before heading to the lecture in Celeste Theatre from 5-6 p.m. <\/p>\n

Dewsbury\u2019s talk, \u201cWhat Society Needs from the Higher Education Classroom,\u201d will explore how institutions of higher education can be more than just vehicles for social and economic promotion. For the democratic ideals of society to be realized, they must be spaces that are connected to, respectful of, and in community with the society they pledge to serve. Dewsbury will discuss the challenges and possibilities associated with this view, and the role that each of us can play in ensuring the viability and sustainability of this relationship. <\/p>\n

This talk is generously supported through the Harold D. and Rhoda N. Roberts Memorial Lecture in the Natural Sciences endowment, which supports and enhances the teaching of science at CC. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has recognized CC for the second consecutive year as being a Fulbright Top Producing Institution. Colleges and universities that receive this honor have the highest number of students selected for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which provides funding for international opportunities. <\/p>\n

Six applicants from CC were selected for Fulbright awards for the 2023-2024 academic year: Kayla Fratt ’15 (research Kenya), Samson Heyer ’23(English teaching Algeria), Jasmine Linder ’23 (arts Brazil), Sophie Ramirez ’17 (English teaching Jordan), Maddie Schink ’23 (English teaching Colombia), and Mariel Zech ’23 (English teaching Taiwan). <\/p>\n

This is the third time CC has made the list of Fulbright Top Producing Institutions. In both 2019 and 2022, four student grantees from CC were selected. There are currently 12 CC students and alumni who are semi-finalists for the 2024 Fulbright. Those awardees will be announced later this spring.  <\/p>\n
