Bennett College's message to the community as it works to keep accreditation: Stand with us - John Newsom, News and Record

Bennett College leaders say they will try to raise $5 million over the next seven weeks so the 145-year-old school can stay open. Leaders of the private women’s college said at a news conference Thursday that they will seek donations locally and nationally. Bennett has until Feb. 1 to show its accreditor that it is financially sound. “We are still relevant and needed,” Bennett President Phyllis Worthy Dawkins told reporters. “We will fight for our accreditation and our survival.” https://www.greensboro.com/news/schools/bennett-college-s-message-to-the-community-stand-with-us/article_77f7b99b-3fbe-5d47-bb71-da16a7978295.html
