Recently, we officially cut the ribbon on our new Community College of Aurora Foundation Conference Room, but this wasn’t just about a room. It was about legacy. It was about honoring the visionaries, founders, and advocates who helped turn the Community College of Aurora from a dream into a driving force for economic mobility and personal transformation.
To stand alongside individuals like Jim Lewien and Molly Link, whose late husband, Bill Wiggins, was a founding board member of the CCA Foundation, was deeply humbling. We celebrated our past, uplifted our present, and looked boldly toward our future.
We heard from incredible voices: John Wolfkill, Mike Hanley, and Jamie Butler, one of our phenomenal CCAF Presidential Scholars, who reminded us all why this work matters.
And here's the impact: This past year, the CCA Foundation raised nearly $900,000 in scholarship and emergency funding to directly support our students. That’s the power of partnership. That’s the heart of CCA.
To our students, alumni, donors, and community: this is your space, your story, and your future. Let’s keep building it—TOGETHER!
