MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The countdown is on. Elizabethtown Community and Technical College’s Fall 2021 semester begins Aug. 16.

Many students will be stepping onto our campuses for their very first college classes. Many others have decided now is the time to come back to college and finish what they started. Others are taking their last classes with ECTC and in a few months will be ready to start promising careers or transfer to a four-year institution to complete their bachelor’s degrees. We also have students who have been with us for a while, but because of the challenges of the pandemic they haven’t had opportunities to fully experience ECTC. We hope all our students are as excited as we are to move forward and get a great start for the 2021-22 academic year.
