QUOTES FOR COVID-19 HOPE:
Encouragement from the Community
We will get
through this, and
brighter days are
ahead.
Bill Row,
EFSC Foundation
Board Chair
It is natural to experience
fear and disappointment
during these unsettling times.
Knowing that our future
depends on the education of
our students is reassuring,
and they need our continued
support. We will get through
this together.
Fran Smith,
Monthly Donor
Know that the Foundation
is here to assist our students
through this uncharted
territory in their time of
need. This too shall pass,
and we will come out
stronger than ever. Stay
calm, healthy and well.
Jennie Kriete,
Director,
EFSC Foundation
COVID-19 is stretching our communities,
our organizations and our families and
friends in new, unprecedented ways.
With all the uncertainty, it can be hard to
navigate the path forward.
There are several things we know: We are
resilient. We don’t give up. Together we will
endure. Together we will create the future
we all deserve. This crisis is a significant
moment for all of us. We should seize this
opportunity to serve others as individuals:
Be empathetic, be part of the solution and
learn and improve – allow the crisis to
elevate our readiness for the future.
Theresa Grimison, CEO, CFB
Everything happens
for a reason. My hope
is that we will all be
kinder to each other.
Susie Wasdin,
Donor and
BJC Alum
We all overcome
obstacles in
our lives. When life seems
uncertain, continue to learn, to
dream and to prepare for your
future. Have faith that your future
is bright, and know that you are
supported by your fellow students,
faculty, administration and
community. Go Titans!
Kim Tsamoutales,
Community
Volunteer and former
EFSC Trustee
You are not alone. The
entire EFSC family is
behind you. If you need
anything, please reach out.
Cindy Bishop,
EFSC Foundation Vice Chair
Many in our community have
been affected by the COVID-19
pandemic. Every aspect of our
lives has been disrupted. How
we live will be different. But
with any adversity, strength
is first mental. Use this time
to reconnect with family
and friends. Strengthen the
relationships in your life.
Strengthen your skills and
talents. When this has passed,
be in a position of strength.
Moses Harvin II,
EFSC Foundation
Executive Board Member
I find that most
people are pretty
resilient. So I
believe that we - as a
community and as a country
- will bounce back from this
coronavirus craziness. I also
believe that there is hidden
treasure in our trials. What
are the opportunities here, and
what lessons can be learned
from this? Challenging
situations, while usually not
enjoyable, are where we
grow the most. We will get
through this, and it’s possible
to emerge even stronger and
better than before.
