Many of our students would not be recruited by a four-year school that has a certain agenda in mind when it accepts applicants. Plus, Cayuga is smaller, more intimate than many other schools in commuting distance. Here, our size is our strength. We have no more than 32 in a class. That creates a level of relationship and accountability.
Teachers notice when a pupil doesn t show up a few times.
And the students notice if I m out of town for a few days. Those folks test the waters here and many find that they want to go further and do more in college. Others discover a whole new value and importance for education in their lives. A community college gives them open access and that s the whole point. The greatest measure of success lies within the individuals who pass through Cayuga s doors.
