Welcoming CCC Comets to Fall Semester

September 7, 2023 By FBN

Remember, at Coconino Community College, you can “Start Small, Go Big.” Here’s to a semester filled with discovery, growth and success.

As we embark on the fall 2023 semester, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and excitement. The energy on campus is palpable, and it’s not just the crisp autumn air. Our enrollment numbers are up, and it’s heartening to see so many new and returning faces eager to embark on their academic journeys at Coconino Community College.

First and foremost, I want to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you. Whether you’re a first-time student, returning after a hiatus, or continuing your academic journey, you are an integral part of the Comet community. Your dreams, aspirations and dedication to learning inspire us every day.

Our commitment to your success is unwavering and this is evident through our Comet Promise. We understand the challenges many face in accessing higher education, and this promise is our pledge to support you every step of the way. It’s our way of ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of your dreams.

Speaking of dreams, our partnership with Northern Arizona University remains robust. This collaboration ensures a seamless transition for those of you who choose to further your studies. Together, we’re building bridges to bigger opportunities, ensuring that you can “Start Small, Go Big.”

Now, let’s talk about some exciting developments on the Career and Technical Education (CTE) front. Thanks to a generous $750,000 grant from the Lowe’s Foundation, our CTE programs are poised for significant enhancements. This grant will enable us to invest in state-of-the-art equipment, expand our program offerings and provide even more hands-on training opportunities. Our commitment is to ensure that you are not just job-ready but future-ready.

At CCC, we are guided by:

Student Success: Our primary focus is you. From our dedicated faculty to our extensive support services, everything we do is geared toward ensuring your success both in and out of the classroom. We’re here to support your academic journey, providing the resources and guidance you need to thrive.

Community Engagement: We believe in the power of community. Our strong ties with local businesses, organizations and institutions like NAU ensure that our curriculum remains relevant and that our students have ample opportunities for real-world experiences. We’re not just a college; we’re a community hub, and we’re dedicated to serving the needs of Coconino County and beyond.

Organizational Excellence: We are committed to continuous improvement. The Lowe’s Foundation grant is just one example of how we seek out opportunities to enhance our offerings. We’re always looking for ways to innovate, expand and ensure that CCC remains a premier institution of learning.

I want to reiterate how thrilled I am to welcome you to this new academic year. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and by choosing CCC, you’ve taken a significant step toward a brighter future. Remember, at Coconino Community College, you can “Start Small, Go Big.” Here’s to a semester filled with discovery, growth and success.

Go Comets! FBN
