General Information - 3 GARDEN CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2002-2004 President’s Message The people, programs and opportunities at Garden City Community College revolve around a nucleus, and that nucleus is you — the student. This institution exists for the sole purpose of preparing you for the opportunities and challenges of the rapidly expanding 21st Century. It’s a purpose that counts to each of us, no matter what kind of background you come from, or what kind of educational goals you’ve set. You might be a recent high school graduate, ready to start your college career, or you might be someone returning to the classroom for the first time in many years. You might also be a newcomer to our community and country, or someone who needs new skills and knowledge beyond those covered by your college degree. As someone who has seen the value and advantages that a community college can offer, I want to congratulate you on selecting our institution, and let you know that I personally gauge my own success — and that of GCCC — on how well you achieve your goals and objectives. As a new president, I’m gratified to be serving at an institution whose mission is to help each person become a positive contributor to the economy and to society. It’s a mission I intend to see GCCC continue to accomplish. Since 1919, this college has been offering academic advancement, job preparation, development of essential skills, and personal enrichment to the people of Southwest Kansas. We want to make good on this offer today for each individual who steps onto our campus, logs onto our website, calls on our phone lines, and entrusts his or her future to the learning we provide. Today, these goals are best attained through: • An emphasis on learning, rather than simply on instruction. • Programs that support students outside, as well as inside, the lab and classroom. • Partnerships with business, industry and other educational institutions, rather than single-minded competi- tion. These goals are also attained through the kind of strategic, long range planning it takes to shape the future for the advantage of our students. GCCC has built a strong reputation of focusing on the individual. That’s one of the things that prompted me to seek the presidency of this college. We’re ready to uphold that tradition, and to expand on it through innovation, as we venture into the exciting years just ahead. I want you to count on us for energy, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, concern, compassion, professionalism and even humor as we make that journey together. Welcome to Garden City Community College. This is the place for you. Carol E.
