"With the end of the pandemic in sight, there’s one type of institution that has been persistently overlooked for its ability to provide a better life for our region’s citizens -- community colleges," writes Dr. Victoria L. Bastecki-Perez, President of Montgomery County Community College, in a recent submission to the Times Herald.

Yesterday, presidents from the Community College of Beaver County; HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College; Westmoreland County Community College; and the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges testified before the House Appropriations Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to offer testimony on behalf of the largest provider of public postsecondary education in the Commonwealth.

In an article recently published in the Pittsburgh Business Times, Dr. Quintin Bullock, president of the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), reflects on how the pandemic changed learning delivery. He also looks to the future, sharing how CCAC is adapting workforce training across all eight of its campuses and centers.

Pennsylvania community colleges continue to evaluate their response to COVID-19. As guidance changes, the most up-to-date information from each community college is available through the Commission's website.
