Special to the Times
Miles College President George T. French, Jr. has announced the “The Extra Mile 21 Day Challenge”, a fundraising campaign asking the Miles College community to raise money to support student scholars in their pursuit of excellence. The campaign is through June 30.
With 97 percent of students requiring some form of funding, a genuine struggle to overcome obstacles to graduate is certain for many of those who yearn to acquire a college degree. This dilemma has required a call to action through “The Extra Mile 21 Day Challenge.” The campaign plays a critical role in helping to keep the large majority of students on the path to graduation.
This campaign provides a consistent way for alums, community leaders and members at large to stay engaged with Miles College through their financial support which helps sustain academic success and services.
“I hope through this campaign we will inspire others to get involved in ensuring the academic success of our students”, said French. “We want to ensure that our student scholars and athletes are able to successfully matriculate through Miles College and ultimately graduate.”
