What is the Difference a Consultant Can Make on a Feasibility Study?
Pellissippi State Community College set out to raise $10 million for capital improvements to the school. Their feasibility study and the efforts of Convergent Partner Joe April working with school faculty, staff, and campaign leaders helped them achieve much, much more. Not only did the college raise over $14 million, but they were able to develop a Student Opportunity Fund and specifically address each of the overarching themes Joe heard from potential investors in the study. Listen to Dr. Wise and Joe take us through the story of this study and how it paved the way for the school's largest capital campaign to date.
