2 Tri-County Community College | 2016 Continuing Education Brochure

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Welcome to our 2016 Continuing Education Brochure.

We are very excited to offer you this comprehensive brochure displaying an entire year’s worth of the continuing education and community enrichment classes planned by Tri-County Community College.

Each year, the College strives to think outside the box to bring new, innovative, and creative courses to the citizens of Western North Carolina. It is our mission to engage students in learning, help students succeed, and enrich the communities we serve. As I browse the pages of this publication, I am proud of what we are presenting for you in 2016.

I would like to believe that we have something for everyone. I am particularly excited about the new 2016 Fontana Public Safety College in February, and also the projected summertime programs aimed at our future students (Kids College).

I encourage you to explore the pages of this publication and find something that inspires you. Whether you want to refresh your knowledge or try something new, I am confident that we offer a class that will meet your needs.

Remember, this publication is an overview of much that we have to offer, but my staff will continue to strive to expand classes as time and budgets allow. Please be sure to log on to the TCCC website, or give us a call if you have any questions or suggestions.

I look forward to seeing you on one or more of our convenient locations in Cherokee, Clay or Graham counties in the weeks and months to come.

Happy New Year,

Dr. Donna A. Tipton-Rogers, President
