EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ENDOWED TEACHING CHAIR PROGRAM
for
Baltimore City Community College
The Endowed Teaching Chair Program for Baltimore City Community College is designed to enrich student achievement by recognizing the strength of the college -- its teaching faculty and instructional departments.
Teaching Chairs have traditionally been associated with universities to lure pre-eminent researchers to a college. The Endowed Teaching Chair Program at BCCC molds the tradition into the college by rewarding excellence in teaching provided by involved and concerned faculty. It is the goal to establish 25 Endowed Teaching Chairs for BCCC.
Funds for each Endowed Teaching Chair are provided from a private contribution of $50,000. The interest from this permanent $50,000 endowment provides an annual stipend to a distinguished college instructor or innovative academic department.
The determination of Endowed Teaching Chair awards is made based on a combination of guidelines established by the donor and those developed by the college in concert with the foundation. Each Endowed Teaching Chair is established in the name chosen by the donor. The donor may select the academic discipline to be recognized by the contributor.
Opportunities for individuals, organizations or businesses to establish Endowed Teaching Chairs may be discussed by contacting the Executive Director or Director of Development of the BCCC FOUNDATION, INC.
BCCC Foundation Naming Opportunities Program
The Naming Opportunities Procedures describe the guidelines governing the naming of college facilities, including new and renovated buildings, centers, laboratories, classrooms, and the interior and exterior spaces associated with them. These guidelines are developed to support, coordinate, and manage the process to ensure consistency and uniformity in naming these structures and spaces on the Baltimore City Community College campuses.
The Foundation Office plans, coordinates, and implements fund-raising programs with BCCC students, alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations. The Foundation’s mission is to increase the measure of private giving in support of BCCC’s discovery, learning, and engagement activities and to develop and maintain positive relationships throughout the institution’s broad range of constituents.
Donors and potential donors are increasingly interested in finding philanthropic projects of their values to bear their names. Gifts that qualify for naming opportunities are a meaningful and lasting way to impact life at Baltimore City Community College.

BCCC Earns Energy Star Award At Green Energy Business Opportunity Conference
Baltimore City Community College, recognized for its continuing efforts statewide to prepare construction supervisors, weatherization managers and crews for the Green Economy, has received an Energy Star Award at the first annual Green Energy Business Opportunity Conference sponsored by The Presidents’ RoundTable, Inc., a champion for minority-led enterprises. The award is presented for BCCC’s innovative workforce training programs which equip people for immediate work in the areas of construction and weatherization to spur energy efficiency and "green" building.
The award, presented May 12, hails BCCC for its commitment to educating the underserved and creating career paths in diverse industry segments, and for its innovative Maryland Center for Construction Technologies which, according to the Presidents’ Roundtable, "will create a pathway for its students to directly participate in green job opportunities."
BCCC was honored in the Education and Training category along with Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. Other recognitions included awards for Energy Star Green Economy Innovator (awarded to Greg Minott, co-founder of D.R.E.A.M. Collaborative of Boston and Jamaica, which produces LEED-certified green buildings); Energy Star Public/Private Partnership Model (awarded to the Maryland Department of General Services and BITHGROUP Technologies for their joint effort to reduce state energy consumption 15% by 2015. The partnership is one of the reasons Maryland has been ranked as the 12th most energy efficient state by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy); and Energy Star Diverse Supplier (awarded to Johnson Controls, Inc. for spending over $1 billion with minority businesses).
The Green Energy Business Opportunity Conference focuses on Green Economy employment, innovations which promise growth to minority businesses entering this sector, and short- and long-term business opportunities.
Through its Maryland Center for Construction Technologies at 901 N. Milton Ave. in East Baltimore, BCCC offers a full range of construction workforce training, from 15-week courses in construction trades to one-year certificate and two-year associate degree programs. The college is also one of five statewide Weatherization Hubs providing training in energy-related areas for weatherization auditors and crews. Through its Construction Supervision associate degree program, BCCC prepares construction managers and entrepreneurs for Green Collar jobs and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
