Corporate Partnership
The Catholic University’s Center for Cultural Engagement (CCE) welcomes financial contributions from corporations to help support programs and initiatives for our diverse student populations that include the traditionally underserved (African-American, Latino/Hispanic, Asian American, multi-racial), first-generation, and commuter students. Our CCE programming aims to help students develop a sense of belonging and increase their rates of retention and graduation.
Academic programming, enhanced learning environments, skills-building workshops, and connection to resources are some of the principal ways that these funds will be used to ensure our students reach their academic, professional, and personal goals.
Participating companies will be recognized for their commitment to diversity efforts and academic excellence through their support of the CCE.

The Thaddeus F. Aubry and Leon A. LeBuffe Endowment
In exercising its discretion, The Catholic University of America shall select students based upon being active members of a student service or advocacy organization, demonstrating financial need and in good academic standing.
The Thaddeus F. Aubry Jr. and Leon LeBuffe Scholarship was established to acknowledge and honor Misters Aubry and LeBuffe for the work they did in establishing the Partnership Program, a minority scholarship program that began in 1969 to benefit promising young students from the Washington, D.C. area.
As Catholic University alumnus and longtime track and field coach at the University Joe Fisher '75 notes:
"Above all, the endowment recognizes the commitment of these two men who worked to provide opportunities for minority students to attend and graduate from Catholic University," said Fisher. "Their vision, determination, and tenacity is what made it possible for me and Ronny and many others to attend Catholic University over four decades ago." Coach Fisher and fellow alumnus, Ronny Lancaster '73 were leading figures in establishing this endowment and they oversee the annual luncheon during Cardinal Weekend where the award is announced.
