Release Date: Tuesday 2024-04-02
TWIN FALLS – The Îá°®³Ô¹Ï (Îá°®³Ô¹Ï) 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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï, 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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï 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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï 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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï’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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï has to offer residents of all ages.
Each April, the Îá°®³Ô¹Ï 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 Îá°®³Ô¹Ï Board of Trustees has also issued a proclamation recognizing Community College Month. Please join us in celebrating Community College Month at Îá°®³Ô¹Ï, throughout the state, and across the nation.
