Community colleges invest in the future through educating the local community.
They have the potential to expand the dimensions of academic study by bringing the academic vision into the world and the service experience into the classroom. A window of opportunity has opened for the collaborations of community colleges and National Service Network programs that can be seen in the public s push for educational reform and the reinvention of government. This window opens at a time when community colleges are faced with the challenges of limited resources and at a moment when technology is changing our society to its very essence. Never before have we been in such a place. We must share resources and transform our response by drawing on our talented and diverse community to provide leadership and solve problems together.
