"Students First and Foremost" was the motto of one of our community college's past leaders. Sometimes as we work with the problems and challenges of admitting students and keeping their records accurate and confidential, we can inadvertently end up creating roadblocks for students who are trying to navigate the steps to becoming a college student and meeting the eventual goal of earning a college degree. Isn't that true though in almost any business endeavor, that we sometimes forget about what is best and most important for our customers and clients? In trying to solve one problem or roadblock, we end up making things more complicated and difficult for the very people we are trying to help and serve!
So, to all of you students out there, past, present and future, please be patient with us and remember we really are on your side. Unfortunately life is often more complicated than it appears. If you run into a snag or a problem, please don't give up. Reach out to someone. It may take more than one or two or three tries to find your way through the red tape and/or the myriad of offices set up to manage the affairs of the college, but please don't give up. We're here to serve and help you. We care about you and want to see you succeed and meet your goals and find your dreams.
Students First and Foremost.
