$1.5 million Home for Hope campaign underway

ECTC and Family Scholar House have announced the public launch of the Home for Hope campaign to build on-campus housing for student parents. The goal of the campaign is to remove barriers to education. The 48-unit Family Scholar House facility will be built on ECTC’s campus adjacent to the James S. Owen Building.

Welcome, students!

Students headed back to class on Aug. 14, some stepping onto an ECTC campus for the first time and others starting their last semester at ECTC before pursuing a bachelor's degree or their dream job. Many found their way to the Student Success Hub where peer mentors were ready with refreshments and answers to new students' questions.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

If you have been following Elizabethtown Community and Technical College over the last several years, you know the college has developed many new initiatives to improve student success. As ECTC president, I could not be more excited to tell you that the work is paying off.

ECTC students’ accomplishments are apparent in both the college’s retention rate and graduation rate — two metrics commonly used to indicate student success.
