citizens of the Shenandoah Valley in the
counties of Augusta, Highland, and Rockingham,
and the cities of Harrisonburg, Staunton, and
Waynesboro. We have educated over 87,500
students since 1967. The College's impact
on the community has been profound, providing
the pathway to success for students and local
employers. Blue Ridge Community

enable it to move ahead confidently and to
continue to be an educational leader in our
community in the future. The BRCC Educational
Foundation is confident of this support –
because a strong community college ensures that
the Shenandoah Valley will be an even better
place for all of us to live and work.

Supporting Faculty and Staff
BRCC is fortunate to have
exceptional faculty and staff members who truly
care about student success.
To ensure that the best
instructional opportunities are available for
students and businesses, Blue Ridge Community
College must attract, support, and retain
outstanding faculty. The College must also
have the means to encourage and reward
instructional innovation designed to enhance
student success. It is essential that
faculty members keep pace with the changing
workplace environment through community
partnerships and collaboration with area
businesses and employers. These
experiences will allow them to better understand
changes in their disciplines and to create
innovative learning opportunities using emerging
technologies.

Foundation supports faculty and staff by
securing resources for:
