My Philosophy on the Community College

I believe that working in a community college is one of the most challenging and exciting professions possible. The community college environment recognizes that education is a vital and lifelong process that is never static nor completely realized.

Community colleges should provide occupational programs in technical, vocational and professional fields leading to an associate degree or a certificate. We are also responsible for providing retraining and upgrading of skills in these areas. I believe that we should offer programs in continuing education for those who wish to improve their professional skills, acquire new ones, or expand their fields of knowledge and general interest.
