At Cottey, student tuition covers roughly 44% of the cost of a Cottey education. Tuition Runs Out
Day marks the point in the school year when tuition “runs out” and funds from generous donors begin to support the remainder of the cost. To celebrate the generosity of these donors, on November 15
and 16, Cottey students will be signing a thank you banner and thank you notes to send to some of
Cottey’s generous donors. This day is a part of a larger Student Philanthropy Project that educates
students on the importance of giving back to Cottey. It also further expands on the “citizens” part
of Cottey’s mission, helping students understand the important role philanthropy has in being a
responsible citizen.
Please join us in celebrating Tuition Runs Out Day at lunch and dinner on Friday, November 15 and
lunch on Saturday, November 16.
Hampton & Sigauke Honored in D.C.President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge Gathering
In recognition of community service performed through the Join in for Joplin project, Cottey College staff members Erica Sigauke, director of spiritual life and diversity, and Renee Hampton, experiential learning and student success coordinator, were invited to participate in a panel discussion on Disaster Preparedness and Response at the 3rd Annual National Gathering of the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge on the campus of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., September 22-25, 2013.
Selection for the panel was based upon the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge proposal and first-year report co-written by Sigauke and Hampton. Both women spoke on the planning, logistics, and implementation of a sustainable disaster relief program. In addition, they spoke about the disaster preparedness training, sponsored by the HELP Foundation, in which Cottey students, faculty, and staff participated while working with the Joplin Family Worship Center.
While at the National Gathering, Sigauke and Hampton attended sessions on evaluating interfaith engagement, student leadership, and the future of the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. Cottey College is a member of the 2013 Honor Roll. Noted speakers at the Gathering were Eboo Patel, founder and president of the Interfaith Youth Core, Dr. Martha Kanter, undersecretary of U.S. Department of Education, Dr. John J. DeBioia, president, Georgetown University, Mellissa Rogers, executive director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and Arne Duncan, secretary of U.S. Department of Education.
Based upon Cottey’s report of accomplishments in Joplin as well as other community service projects, Sigauke and Hampton were selected to participate in a photo opportunity with Secretary Duncan and Mellissa Rogers. Only a few select colleges and universities were chosen for this honor. Cottey College continues its commitment to Joplin by working with AmeriCorps and Rebuild Joplin. Students, faculty and staff have provided service to the Joplin community on three different dates in 2013 and have worked on 10 different homes that were either new builds or restoration of damaged homes. On October 26, 2013, Cottey College’s Join in for Joplin project exceeded 3,000 volunteers hours.
