Reaching out to the community is part of our mission. Community colleges are for everyone. The very heart of our mission is to make education accessible, whatever the potential student's background. For our outreach to be effective, people need to know the details and great variety of our offerings. Just knowing that we exist, but not what we offer, isn't enough.
Education is good for Oregon.
As Oregonians work to compete in the changing global and national economies, we should encourage all citizens to reach their full potential. Many are discouraged and unaware that job skills and a better life can be within their grasp. To reach out to them, we provide this reminder that they can achieve their goals. Every time it arrives it reminds me that I need to get started back in school. People want the schedule sent to them.
