Salt Lake Community College’s First-ever Giving Day is Here!

From now through tomorrow at 4:28 p.m., you are invited to take part in our first Giving Day event! SLCC is aiming to raise $100,000 for our students and student programs, and this debut effort also coincides with National Random Acts of Kindness Day.

In the spirit of Random Acts of Kindness Day, SLCC is also offering our community access to a special session with SLCC’s Culinary Institute Associate Dean, Chef Jeffrey Coker, as he prepares one of his signature dishes, Chicken Chassuer. Join the fun for this free culinary experience for the SLCC family!

What’s more, the first 50 people to watch the video receive a copy of “A Spoonful of SLCC,” the college’s cookbook featuring recipes from our SLCC Culinary Institute.

If you choose to participate in Giving Day, your gift can make a greater impact as several sponsors are offering “challenge” or matching gifts to encourage donors to give as much as possible. Earlier in the day, Mountain America Credit Union and SLCC’s Executive Cabinet offered challenge gifts, and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. today University Federal Credit Union will challenge donors to give more by matching donations up to $1,000. Tomorrow, SLCC’s Board of Trustees and Foundation Board will offer challenge gifts at certain times throughout the day. Check SLCC’s Giving Day website for details.

Anyone is welcome to donate, and no amount is too small. Giving Day donations are also tax-deductible, and 100 percent will go toward the college scholarship or program selected by the donor.

SLCC Giving Day is part of the college’s comprehensive campaign to raise $40 million for scholarships and school programming by 2023, which is SLCC’s 75^th anniversary.

Thanks for supporting SLCC students! Your donation improves the lives of thousands of students and their families.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college. SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
