“If anybody has a vision, it ’s up to you to fulfill it. Sometimes we just want to give up. But I promise you, if you take one step, somebody will help you take the next step. And that’s what this college has done for me.”
- Edward Harrod, Electrical Student
Our community...
“CSM Students become your nurses, scientists, engineers, teachers, truck drivers and trade professional. We are proud of our students and hope you will help the CSM Foundation support the future of your community college.”
- Dr. Bradley Gottfried, CSM President

“So many students are struggling, not so much with their class material, but with the demands of their lives outside of the classroom. These students have often left the workforce or have significantly cut their hours in order to take on the demands of their program but they still have all of the responsibilities of their home life-taking care of children, making dinner, etc. We thought if there is even one thing we can do to make life a little easier on these students, we should.”
- Founders of the Patty Schwier and Norma LaFleur Scholarship Fund
