This fall, the Community College of Aurora reached a historic milestone—welcoming more than 9,500 students, the largest fall enrollment in our college’s history.
This achievement is not just about numbers, it is about trust. It reflects the confidence our students place in us to be the bridge to their future. It demonstrates the trust of our donors, who have given at historic levels to support scholarships, crisis grants, and wraparound services. It reflects the trust of our workforce partners, who continue to align with us to expand pathways in healthcare, behavioral health, applied sciences, and many other fields
Most of all, it reflects the relentless commitment of our faculty and staff. This incredible team shows up every day to remove barriers, design high-quality programs, and deliver on our mission of economic mobility.
Together, we are proving that when we invest in people, provide affordable and clear pathways, and walk alongside our learners, lives change—and communities thrive.
I am deeply humbled, proud, and energized by this moment. Thank you to everyone who makes CCA’s story possible. The best is yet to come.
