The Time Is Now
You can make a gift to honor or memorialize a loved one or recognize your family or an organization on the campus of Community College of Philadelphia through many naming opportunities.
When you make a gift to name an academic program, a student service program, a building, classroom, student space, tree, or brick at Community College of Philadelphia, you are “in it” to fundamentally transform, reshape, and impact the lives of individuals, families, and the community.
Now is the time to reimagine the spaces and places for academic and student success to:
- Create state-of-the-art learning environments beyond the traditional classroom that will allow students to see the connections between their studies and the broader world, and where they can practice in spaces that mirror the workplace
- Develop facilities that inspire pride of ownership, build community among stakeholders, and establish trailblazing standards for sustainability and environmental stewardship.

While classroom learning is essential to high-quality Nursing and Allied Health programs, experiential learning plays the most valuable role in developing clinical and critical thinking skills. The proposed Integrated Health and Life Sciences Building will provide a state-of-the-art space for experiential learning, including:
- Better access for the community to the services students provide through Dental Hygiene clinic and community nursing initiatives
- Opportunities for immersive, state-of-the-art simulation experiences reflective of those found in hospital emergency rooms and other health care environments.
- Spaces that reflect real-life clinical settings
