Dr. Mordecai's Community College of Aurora Quarter Four Video

As we close out a remarkable season at the Community College of Aurora, I’m reminded once again of the power of a community that truly believes in its mission.

Over the past several days, thousands followed along as we completed 71 miles during the Miles with Mordecai campaign. Because of your generosity and commitment to our students, we crossed the finish line having raised more than $90,000 for emergency student assistance. These dollars ensure that when life happens, our learners are met with compassion, resources, and a path to stay on track.

This momentum is mirrored across the college. Together, we:

✔ Welcomed the largest fall enrollment in CCA history — more than 10,000 students
✔ Opened the Centennial Campus for Healthcare and First Responders
✔ Launched the Center for Applied Science and Technology (CAST)

These new facilities expand access to high-demand programs in healthcare, STEM, public safety, and workforce innovation — strengthening Colorado’s workforce and boosting economic mobility for our region.

Behind every milestone is an unwavering mission: to be the college where every student succeeds.

I invite you to watch my Q4 update video, where I share more about this semester of progress and the bold vision ahead.

Thank you to our faculty, staff, donors, partners, alumni, and supporters. None of this happens without you.
