2 / Calhoun Community College


President’s MessageDuring the last year, Calhoun CommunityCollege continued to thrive. And, the onething that remained constant throughout allof our accomplishments, achievements,honors and awards was our people. Thestudents, faculty, staff and communities whomake up the Calhoun family are trulyamazing.

Our students continue to excel at all levels,our faculty and staff are among the mostcommitted and dedicated anywhere, and thecommunities we are so very fortunate to be apart of are among the most innovative,productive and diverse in the nation.

Due to the efforts and support of many, wehave been able to accomplish much and onceagain be acknowledged as one of thiscountry’s premier community colleges.Evidence of this was our recognition last yearby the national publication, CommunityCollege Week, as one of the country’s FastestGrowing Community Colleges. Additionally,the College continues to be recognized as oneof the region’s most successful economic andworkforce development engines as wesupport the growth of existing businessesand remain actively involved in attractingnew industry to our area.

We greatly value our partnerships with suchentities as AIDT, in the on-going developmentof the Alabama Robotics Technology Park,and with our sister institution, EnterpriseState Community College, as we become thenorth Alabama site for the Alabama AviationCenter, and with Athens State University indevelopment of the new Downtown Fine ArtsCenter.

Throughout the year, many hours ofmanpower were dedicated to support our re-accreditation by the Southern Association ofColleges and Schools (SACS). In October, we

hosted a successful SACS Visiting Teamreview. While work continues in ourinstitutional effectiveness efforts, we wereextremely pleased by the Team’s overallreport and were most fortunate to receiveglowing comments and no recommendationson our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) topic.

While much of 2011 was indeed a bright starfor the College, we did see our share ofchallenges. In early spring, members of theCalhoun family, as did many across the stateof Alabama, suffered through the devastationof the April 27th storms. How proud I was ofour students, faculty and staff as we cametogether during this time to not only helpone another but to also extend a helpinghand to many of our neighbors. Even thoughwe were forced to remain closed for almosttwo weeks during one of the busiest times ofthe year, we came together, re-grouped, andwere able to complete finals and conduct our2011 graduation ceremonies as originallyscheduled.

How very fortunate I feel to be part of such acreative, innovative, and dedicated team aswe have here at Calhoun Community College.Our number one priority remains that ofproviding access and ensuring the success ofall of our students, and to that we remaincommitted. My sincere gratitude to all whohave and continue to support us in our effortsto serve the communities and the region weare so much a part of.
