总理的消息
Since 2017, I have served as the chancellor of 都会社区学院, and
one of the things that I have come to value most is its rich history. 大都会
社区 College District was established in 1964. 它的起源包括合并
of the Junior College Division of the Kansas City Polytechnic Institute, founded in
1915, with the Business Training, Engineering and Nurses Training divisions. In 1921,
the Junior College added evening classes to accommodate full-time workers. 在第二次世界
War I, the school expanded its academic offerings to include occupational training
and began attracting students from outlying communities beyond Kansas City, Missouri.
In so many ways, this institution has always been ahead of its time in recognizing the importance of offering student-centric academics based on real-world, occupational 要求. For so many years, the College has answered the call of providing access to higher education for those who may not otherwise see higher education as a reality.
Financial constraints are real for the students and the College. 在全国范围内,高 education has become less affordable and the burden of student debt weighs down many 毕业生. At the same time, 都会社区学院 faces the reality of fewer state resources, which have declined over the past five years from $32.900万(2016年) to $30.6 million expected in 2020 FY20. Yet, 十大娱乐彩票平台 remains committed to providing affordable and quality programs in safe and welcoming facilities.
一场运动 前进的道路 is the next step in advancing 十大娱乐彩票平台's mission: preparing students, serving communities and creating opportunities for all.
Private philanthropy is so indispensable in 十大娱乐彩票平台 achieving is mission! 前进的道路 will allow 十大娱乐彩票平台 to continue as the first choice of dedicated and deserving students who want an education and a viable path to a solid career.
