Quote from the President
“We are unique. For many in our service area, we offer the only open access to public higher education within 40 to 50 miles or more. At the same time, we are acutely aware of our role as an engine of economic and workforce development, and seek every opportunity to engage both profit and non-profit segments of the economy to support and enhance their growth.”
