Todd Marshall

Gloria Karol
"I continue to support the Faculty/Staff campaign because I am deeply committed to the success and well-being of our students. At Mohawk Valley Community College, we strive not only to provide accessible, high-quality education but also to show our students and community that we stand with them in every way we can. By contributing to this campaign, we emphasize that our students and community are at the heart of our work, and we are dedicated to supporting their educational journeys. This campaign allows us to make a direct investment in our students' success and future, strengthening our mission to transform lives through learning."
Ashleigh Frank
"As a proud MVCC graduate and someone deeply rooted in the Mohawk Valley, I know firsthand the incredible impact this college has on our community and the opportunities it creates for families like mine. Giving to the MVCC Foundation means supporting the next generation of students, helping them unlock their potential and achieve dreams that strengthen all of us. It's a way for me to give back to the place that 's given me so much."
