​CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (Feb. 20, 2020) – Schomp Automotive Group is providing a $250,000
gift and sponsorship to Arapahoe Community College’s (ACC) Sturm Collaboration Campus in
Castle Rock. This gift will be matched dollar for dollar by the Sturm Family Foundation, which
will provide $500,000 for future program innovation initiatives at the campus and student
scholarships. The state of the art boardroom at the campus will be named the ‘Schomp
Automotive Innovation Center’. This investment supports the ACC Lift the Gift campaign, a
$5.1 million match opportunity provided by the Sturm Family Foundation.
“Schomp believes education provides the basis for a strong community and thriving
economy. We have a longstanding relationship with Arapahoe Community College and are
proud we can contribute to the ACC Sturm Collaboration Campus where students will be well
prepared for the future,” said Schomp Vice President for Business Development Michael
Dunlap.

The ACC Sturm Collaboration Campus opened in August of 2019 and welcomed over 650
students and provides pathways in Business, Technology, Health, and Workforce Training. The
campus, which also houses staff from Colorado State University, Douglas County School
District, the Arapahoe Douglas Workforce Center, and Innosphere Ventures, has been
developing innovative partnerships and programs with community and industry partners.
“ACC has had a great working relationship with Schomp Automotive through the years, and this
gift and sponsorship demonstrates Schomp Automotive’ s commitment to this region and to our
students,” said Dr. Eric Dunker, ACC’s Associate Vice President and Dean of Business,
Technology, and Workforce Partnerships. “The Sturm Collaboration Campus’s talent pipeline
initiatives to create more high quality, affordable, and pathway oriented programming would not
be possible without key industry and community partners like Schomp Automotive and the
Sturm Family Foundation and we are extremely grateful for their support.”
