Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle is responsible for $18 million of institutional support for FKCC.    How do we get to $18 Million?   FKCC’s first ever Federal Earmark of  $2.24 Million for the IUTS program.  Then there is the single largest private donation of $1 Million dollars from the  from the James E. Lockwood Estate.

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle brought the rest in through her work on campus construction.   She secured a $5 million dollar commitment from the state for the first new college building in 17 years and created an entrepreneurial public-private partnership which is expected to raise $9 million dollars for a residence hall.  This will be the first residence hall for FKCC.

Other smaller donations fill in the rest, including a creative twist to fund raising the college receiving forfeited property of a 30-foot vessel for the marine science department.

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle was able to bring this to FKCC through planning, determination and creativity.
