Meeting our students needs is our norm, not our innovation.

Coleagues, 

I want to share this article about how community colleges have always been meeting the needs of students. But this article could easily have been titled How Adult Education Programs Meet the Needs of Students and Their Families. 

What is often listed as innovation is how we have been operating for years and I wanted to take a moment during the beginning of this Thanksgiving season to give you all a shout out for the work you've been doing for years, and the challenges you've experienced in continuing your mission during these trying times. 

Please consider taking a moment to share the positivity of your work, share how you've worked to overcome the barriers faced by our students. 

To all of you - be well, be safe, and thank you for your work. You all make a difference every day.
Sincerely, 

Kathy Tracey
