Communiversities: Examining Mission and Access

Back when community colleges were more commonly known as "junior colleges," the assumption was that they were made exclusively for high school dropouts and bored, empty nest housewives. That connotation is becoming less relevant every day.

Come join a panel discussion about the changing landscape of community colleges, and their continued growth as a viable alternative to traditional four-year universities. Panelists include Jean Floten, First Chancellor of Western Governors University, and Denise Yochum, President at Pierce College Fort Steilacoom.
