1971

The Junior College of Broward County Foundation Corporation was incorporated in 1966, but never completed its organizational activities. In 1971, the Broward Community College Foundation was incorporated and took root. Today the BCC Foundation is one of the nation's top community college foundations, with total assets of more than $55 million. The BCC Foundation was the nation's first community college foundation to complete an endowed teaching chairs campaign.

Wayne Huizenga for establishing the Blockbuster Entertainment Group Endowed Teaching Chair.

Broward County civil attorney Sheldon J. Schlesinger served on the board of trustees from 1971 to 1987.

Gene A. Whiddon Hall was named to honor the founding chairman of the BCC Foundation. Whiddon brought together a group of 15 prominent Broward citizens and college officials in 1971 for the purpose of creating an organization to assist the college in its mission of serving the community.

Robert E. Ferris, a Broward County attorney and judge, served on the Board of Public Instruction and was named to the JCBC Advisory Committee in 1959. He also served as a member of the BCC District Board of Trustees from 1968 to 1971.

Samuels, for whom the South Campus is named, served as a member of the BCC Advisory Committee in 1959 and as a member of the District Board of Trustees from 1971 until his death on April 29, 1974.
