ANNUAL REPORT

We are pleased to share with you this report of the
results of our 2013 fiscal year. We could not have achieved these results
without you, and we are grateful for your support. Together we impact many lives every day.
The past year brought us a number of successes:
• Our Annual Fund campaign set a record with more than $1.5 million in new cash and
pledges received.
• We received more than $1.3 million of “in kind” gifts.
• Our employee campaign raised more than $62,000.
• Our Entrepreneurs Forum gala had a wonderful turnout and raised a record amount.
• Our McAlister Square operations continued to pay an increased distribution to the
Foundation, which we used to further support the College. The University Center and
other non-profit organizations and governmental entities occupy most of our space
and we are 88% leased.
The College’s mission is to provide access to a higher education for as many people as possible.
We have students that graduated at the top of their high school class who have chosen to do
the first two years of their college work here in our Honors College before transferring to
Clemson, USC-Upstate, Furman, USC, or other four-year institutions. We have students who
dropped out of high school but got their GED and now are pursuing a two-year Associate
Degree. We have students who have jobs but are taking classes to improve job skills, students
who are taking classes to be able to change jobs, and unemployed individuals who are here to
gain skills to obtain employment once again.
Providing a strong education for all of these individuals can be a challenge, especially for those
with few resources.Thanks to your contributions to the Foundation, we are able to provide
scholarships that provide access to education for many of these students. However that need is
growing greatly. Additionally, we must continue to keep our programs up-to-date with the same
equipment used in business and industry to ensure our graduates receive relevant training that
makes them employable.
It is because of you that
many people have
improved their quality of
life and are contributing
to our area’s economic
recovery. We thank you
for all you have done
and solicit your
continuing support.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Howard, President
Greenville Tech Foundation

...Thank you so much for rewarding this effort! You have made a huge difference in my life and
the lives of my husband and daughter...I hope to get my nurse practitioner degree and provide
care to families in medically-underserved areas as well as participate in medical mission trips.
Someday, I hope to help other students the way the Greenville Tech Foundation has helped me.

...I am currently majoring in Aircraft Maintenance Technology. I have always had
the desire to pursue a career in aircraft maintenance/manufacturing and your
assistance made it possible for me to attain that goal. The financial assistance
you provided will be of great help to me in paying my educational expenses, and
it will allow me to concentrate more of my time for studying.

...I am a mother who works full time as a server with one toddler and another one on the way
and I really want to provide them with the best life possible. The chance to get a college
education is a great start...This scholarship means everything to me and I promise to hold up
my end and be the best student I can be and keep my GPA up to be able to keep this blessing.

A Look to the Future.
As an open door institution, we make our opportunities available to all, and thanks to the
generosity of our donors, those doors open quite a bit wider. With financial assistance, students
who are juggling bills and tuition get the help they need to meet their goals. And when these
students enroll, our donors see that the classrooms they learn in are well outfitted, and
instructors have the resources they need to provide the highest quality education. For the
opportunities our donors make possible, we are truly grateful.
With the assistance of donors, we’ve been working to create opportunities since 1962. That
means we help businesses seize opportunities by giving them the skilled workers they need to
succeed and grow. And we give individuals the relevant skills they need to qualify for the best
jobs today and those on the horizon for the future. Our responsibility for workforce development
leads us to meet the evolving needs of employers through efforts such as the Center for
Manufacturing Innovation (CMI), which we envision as an internationally recognized learning
environment that integrates research and education. From the planning stage onward, the CMI
has been a close partnership between employers and educators, and one in which Greenville
Technical College is joining with Greenville County Schools and Clemson University to create the
future workforce.
As the integrated approach at the CMI illustrates, lines between educational levels are fading as
we come together to meet our communities’ goals. Once, working together meant creating
agreements that allowed students to transfer easily from the two-year college to the four-year
university. Today, we’re creating a new model in which students move seamlessly from K-12 to
the two-year level and on to the four-year institution with no duplication of coursework and no
loss of credits. Tomorrow, we may even work in partnership with four-year colleges to offer
applied baccalaureate degrees in areas such as manufacturing technology and nursing. These
would build on the hands-on training provided in an associate degree while providing the
higher-level skills that would allow students to advance and employers to remain competitive.
Our mission is to drive personal and economic growth through
learning. We are fortunate to have the support of other educators,
employers, legislators, students, alumni, employees, and donors in that
effort. Working together, we are creating opportunities for business,
for students, and for South Carolina.
