The higher education industry continues to be at the center of lively debate and discussion. Much of that discussion focuses on competency-based education and its effect on affordability, time-to-completion, and workplace relevancy.

Waubonsee and Its Graduates Look Toward the Future

Malcolm X said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This bit of advice seems especially appropriate this time of year, as millions of high school and college students graduate and head off in new directions, looking to access brighter futures.

Return on Investment Still High for College Degrees

I always look forward to the start of the fall semester. It’s the time of year that we are privileged to welcome students, gathered from a diversity of races, genders, ages and other demographics. What they all have in common is a dream. 

A Future Beyond Expectations

At the heart of the mission of colleges and universities is the desire to prepare students to shape the future and make a difference. We do what we do everyday because we truly believe education is the key that can unlock doors of greater possibilities for our students, our communities and for the world.

When evaluating the value of a college education, or even a college campus itself, the discussion often turns to the down-to-earth, economic, dollars-and-cents metrics of jobs and careers. It’s a discussion that Waubonsee Community College faculty and staff, along with many of our colleagues in community colleges across the nation, love to have.We are all proud of the affordable, quality education we offer to help our students pursue their dreams and become contributing members of the local workforce.
