Dear people of Tumblr,

Please read this.

Not even 48 hours ago my school found out that there is a good possibility of our school closing; this information was kept from us, and was never meant to be told. We have less than a month to raise the money that we need and to find more people interested in our college so that we can keep it alive.

Chester College is an absolutely fantastic place. Though small, it offers a great education for creative writers, fine artists, photographers and designers, and people that want to blend those things. This place is home to many of us that go here; I call it home, more so than the place I grew up. The staff and professors are kind and know your name; you arent just another number here. These professors are our friends.

I, and everyone else, dont want to lose my home.

We cant afford to have this school shut down. We need more creative people in this world, and I know for a fact this college has saved a lot of people and has helped them do better in their lives. It just cant go away.

As students, we’d be losing our education if this school was to close. The professors and fantastic staff would be losing their jobs.

If you wish to help us, please spread the word! The more people that know about this and are willing to listen, the better.

If you would like to donate to our cause and keep Chester College around, please visit chestercollege.edu and click on the donate button at the bottom of the page. We would greatly appreciate any and all donations, because they just mean a little bit closer to or goal.

And if you dont have money to spare, please go and sign this petition to hopefully get rid of the current president. If Chester is able to stay around for another year, we dont want to be ruled by the guy who kept this a secret and might have screwed us over. Even now, he has thrown in the towel while the rest of us, staff and students alike, are working to keep this place going.

Please reblog this and help us save our school.
