A Message from the President

Dear Sea Devil Community,

As we close another remarkable academic year, I am filled with pride for the incredible accomplishments of our CFCC community. We celebrated a milestone on Friday, May 9, as 1,358 graduates completed at least one credential. This achievement reflects not only the hard work and dedication of our students but also the incredible support of our employees and community partners. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

While we take a moment to celebrate, our work continues. I'm excited to share that summer enrollment is strong, a sign that students are seizing the opportunity to advance their education. Whether they’re completing general education courses, exploring new career pathways, or gaining valuable workforce certifications, our summer programs are more robust than ever.

We are actively preparing for the fall semester. Our commitment to student success includes new programs, upgraded facilities, and improved student support services. I urge you to stay engaged, support current and incoming students, and advocate for CFCC's mission. Together, we can change students' lives and enhance the community, one graduate, one class, and one success story at a time.

Jim Morton

CFCC President
