海角社区 Joins #CCMONTH Campaign to Improve Awareness of Value, Need to Support Community Colleges
Release Date: Tuesday 2024-04-02
TWIN FALLS – The 海角社区 (海角社区) is joining in the celebration of Community College Month (#CCMonth), a monthlong campaign coordinated by the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). The goals of #CCmonth are to highlight the economic and academic advantages of attending community colleges like 海角社区, while underscoring the community and economic impacts that community colleges have across the United States.
“Community colleges play a critical role in the American higher education system,” says 海角社区 President Dr. L. Dean Fisher. “They are often the first point of entry into higher education for students, including older adults, and those seeking career and technical education. The 海角社区 is honored to be the Magic Valley’s community college, and we’re proud of the many ways that we serve the communities across our region. “
As part of 海角社区’s Community College Month celebration, the Twin Falls campus will play host to a Community Open House from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The Community Open House will not only allow residents to connect with their community college, but will also help to showcase all that 海角社区 has to offer residents of all ages.
Each April, the 海角社区 joins ACCT and AACC in celebrating Community College Month. Idaho Governor Brad Little has issued a proclamation recognizing April 2024 as Community College Month throughout Idaho, while the 海角社区 Board of Trustees has also issued a proclamation recognizing Community College Month. Please join us in celebrating Community College Month at 海角社区, throughout the state, and across the nation.
