The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District has named
experienced fundraiser Sally Cox as its new Auxiliary executive director, a
position responsible for securing and managing millions of dollars in grants
each year.
“I am so
excited to be part of a great team of professionals and students,” Cox said. “Community colleges
provide critically needed opportunities for students from a wide variety of
backgrounds to expand their horizons. Hopefully, my work will provide
opportunities for more students to participate in higher education and those students
will have exciting opportunities at the district that will help them to achieve
their educational dreams.”
The
Auxiliary has secured more than $55 million for the college district over the
past decade, averaging about 50 grant agreements annually to bolster college
programs. For example, a three-year, $3.5 million regional grant awarded in
2004 by the state Chancellor’s Office helped pay for $100,000 high-tech,
lifelike mannequins used in lab classes at Grossmont College’s Nursing and
Allied Health Program.
