OVERVIEW
The Office of College Advancement promotes and supports
the mission of LCSC by encouraging, assisting and recognizing
friends and alumni in their quest to provide meaningful
financial
support for the college and its students. It supports and
fosters
the active participation of all alumni with their alma mater.
OFFICE OF COLLEGE ADVANCEMENT
The Office of College Advancement encompasses the functions
of development and alumni relations. It provides day-to-day
management, operations and support for the LCSC Alumni Association and the LCSC Foundation.
Development is the function responsible for raising money for
the college through the Foundation, mainly through gifts from
individuals, corporations and foundations, and for maintaining
gift
records and recognizing donors. College Advancement provides
guidance to college departments, clubs and organizations that
seek to raise money for their own projects and initiatives.
Alumni Relations maintains the alumni database and, with the
Alumni Association, develops and implements activities and
communication vehicles for keeping in touch with LCSC alumni.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The LCSC Alumni Association was founded as an independent
nonprofit organization in 1977. Established by a group of
alumni
who wanted to assure continued relationships between LCSC
and its alumni, the Alumni Association promotes the role and
mission of the college and works to preserve and strengthen the
traditions of the college.
Members of the LCSC Alumni Association include all graduates
of the college and those persons who have completed 24 credits
at the college under any of its names (Lewiston State Normal
School, Northern Idaho College of Education, Lewis-Clark
Normal School or LCSC). A board of directors governs the
Alumni Association, which meets numerous times throughout
the academic year. Alumni Association members are invited to
the meetings and are encouraged to be actively involved with
the Alumni Association. Meeting schedules and additional
information can be obtained through the Alumni Office or from
the following Web site: www.lcsc.edu/alumni.
FOUNDATION
Established in 1984 as a nonprofit educational foundation,
the LCSC Foundation is dedicated to providing a margin of
excellence for LCSC students. In securing resources beyond
those provided through state funding, the Foundation assures
an educational experience that is more financially accessible
to students, as well as one which is more well-rounded and
complete.
The Foundation provides support for a number of enhancement
activities including the Foundation Scholars Program, the Lewis-
Clark Center for Arts and History, Faculty Achievement Awards,
and other services and programs that lie outside the traditional
role of public funding. The LCSC Foundation manages and
invests gifts and assets, including funds supporting many
programs and scholarships for the maximum benefit of LCSC.
