The Academic Enrichment Fund (AEF) Campaign is one of the Barton Community College Foundation’s most significant annual fundraising efforts. The campaign runs throughout March and is unique because it allows donors to specialize their gift by choosing which department or fund they would like to benefit from their generosity. All the donations are used for academic scholarships and program enhancements. There is no minimum donation amount.
The Shafer Gallery will premiere an exhibit featuring Michael Knutson and Brian McCallum from Feb. 26 through April 1 with a virtual reception at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26 via facebook.com/shafergallery.
