Higher education has traditionally been the fuel that mobilizes communities toward a hopeful future. Community colleges in particular have been historically rooted in the need to remove social and economic barriers to post-secondary education in underserved regions. They are uniquely designed to offer affordable opportunities for students seeking pathways to stable employment.
April is Community College Month, and I want to take this opportunity to celebrate the ability of community colleges to innovate and find creative solutions, particularly following a year wrought with challenges for our students, staff, local businesses and their employees.
