Atlantic Christian College. A
committment to a higher quality
of life for its citizens brings to
gether the educational mission
of Atlantic Chrisatian College
with a mission advocated in
progressive banking. We are
grateful to BBcfeT for its gen
erous support in helping us to
fulfil this mission.
“Today, as never before, the
strength of free enterprise is
best assured when private busi
ness supports and strengthens
private higher education. We
have a mutual concern for the
freedoms upon which nation’s
economic system has been es
tablished and through which it
thrives. Higher education is one
cornerstone of this system just
as progressive banking contin
ues to be a cornerstone. Our
mutual goals are well supported
through committments of this
magnitude and generosity.
We deeply appreciate the
confidence illustrated by this
gift from Branch Banking and
Trust.”
