Focused stewardship: From day one, you will have access to a Foundation staff professional who will assist with creating strategies to enhance your partnership with HCC.
Increased visibility on campus: Through your engagements with HCC, recognition of your company will grow. We will discuss the optimal way to display your company name through HCC communication channels.
Added Events & Benefits: Highland Community College Foundation’s newly developed Corporate Partnership Program offers our corporate partners the option to support and be affiliated with four Foundation events and with Highland Community College.
