“Through industry-aligned curriculum, innovative instructional delivery methods and global industry partners, Gateway graduates provide a foundation for community and economic growth. The college set a foundation for career training when Racine Continuation School began classes in 1911 as a strategy to transform the regional economy, a strategy that is as important today as it was a century ago. Today, Gateway Technical College contributes more than $400 million in economic impact annually throughout the region. Students are engaged in community development, service learning, international education and professional leadership organizations ensuring that our graduates are academically prepared, career ready and civic-minded. Gateway’s guiding principles of integrity, quality and service are cornerstones for student academic and career success.” — Dr. Bryan Albrecht, President, Gateway Technical College
