December 2022 Newsletter
The holiday season is just around the corner. As we wrap up the year, we are reflective and grateful for our friends and donors who continue to support our students and the community. This year, Kish had so much to celebrate including increased enrollment, the return to on-campus events, and the creation of new funds and scholarships. We look forward to 2023 and our continued work to help advance the College's mission to provide equitable, student-centered education.

Student Thank You
I am very grateful and honored to receive these scholarships. Being a first-generation college student in my family has allowed me to thank my parents for all their hard work and sacrifices. I am delighted to be able to help others the way I have been helped.
