In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the college will be honoring those who have helped make the college what it is today. Nominations are now being sought for our “Difference Makers” initiative. In the spring we will honor the 50 most influential persons on Schoolcraft’s 50 year history.
     There are two types of Difference Makers we are seeking—those who have made an impact on Schoolcraft College; and those by virtue of their relationship to Schoolcraft College have had a significant impact on their community. Nominees can be current students, alumni or former students, instructors, staff members, donors, volunteers, board members, friends, community leaders, etc. 
     Nominations can be made at online until March 31, 2012. Nominators are asked to provide contact information on themselves and the nominee; basic information about the nominee and their relationship to the college, including the era in which they were influenced or had influence on the college; and a brief description on their impact on Schoolcraft College or how Schoolcraft College had an impact on their lives and therefore their contribution to society.
     “The Difference Makers campaign is a great opportunity for us to honor the college’s 50-year legacy of serving this community by recognizing the people who have created that legacy,” said Dr. Conway A. Jeffress, president of the college. “With thousands of faculty and staff, and hundreds of volunteers, donors and friends helping to build the college through the years, and more than 300,000 alumni who have gone out into the world spreading their influence, it is going to be very difficult to narrow it down to only 50 Difference Makers.” Click here for more information on the Difference Makers campaign.
