Mountainland Technical College announces ‘ON THE RISE’
Utah’s Largest Technical College’s New Capital Campaign is a First in Utah
Lehi, UT - At its Board of Trustees meeting tonight, Mountainland Technical College announced a two-year, $5 million capital campaign to support three fundamental pillars: Student Success, Faculty Excellence, and Institutional Support.
“Our Board Chair and College President charged us to design a campaign representative of the school’s commitment to excellence,” said MTECH Vice President Joseph Demma. “Accordingly, we have branded this first-ever capital campaign at a Utah technical college ‘On The Rise’ to capture our community’s shared goal of upward mobility.”
After the campaign announcement, MTECH Board Chairman and Clyde Companies CEO/President Jeremy Hafen presented a check to the school for $500,000.00.
“On behalf of Clyde Companies, I am thrilled to support Mountainland’s On the Rise campaign,” said Chairman Hafen. “Education is not just an investment of individuals; it is an investment in the prosperity of our region. By partnering with institutions like MTECH, we are building the foundation for success by encouraging individuals to reach new heights in their education, careers, and lives.”
Mountainland Technical College President Clay Christensen accepted the donation on behalf of the college. “We are grateful to Jeremy and everyone at Clyde Companies for their continued leadership and support,” the president noted. “This contribution will impact many lives.”
The campaign’s three foundational pillars sustain a comprehensive approach to what higher education stands for in the Mountainland region:
- Student Success is paramount, driven by the belief that everyone should have access to higher education.
- Faculty Excellence is essential in nurturing a dynamic learning environment.
- Beyond the construction of new buildings, institutional support ensures that the college remains at the forefront of innovation.
As Mountainland Technical College charges forward with this historic and groundbreaking movement, they invite the community, alumni, and partners to join this collective effort.
