Welcome to Everett Community College

A Message from the President
President's Blog

For over six decades Everett Community College has played an important part in the success story of our community. From adult learning and relevant professional and technical programs, to readying students to transfer to 4-year colleges and universities, the College is the academic, technical and cultural center of learning for our region.

With the help of dedicated employees committed to serving students, we are moving forward with plans to strengthen our educational programs, improve student success and retention, continue our building projects, and further other important initiatives.

In January 2007 the College opened the doors on a new science and arts facility—Whitehorse Hall—the first of several buildings to be completed over the next two decades as part of the College’s comprehensive master plan.

During the 2006 and 2007 legislative sessions, the Washington State Legislature adopted recommendations to increase access to baccalaureate degrees in the region, and provided the College with funding to strengthen the University Center, create new partnerships with universities, and create a new Undergraduate Education Center on campus. During the summer of 2007, the College will break ground on the Undergraduate Education Center, which will house undergraduate math, English, social sciences, distance and four-year education programs. The top floor will become the new home for the University Center. The building will add from 70,000 to 80,000 square feet in building area to the College by Winter Quarter 2009.

During the summer of 2008 the College will also begin a major expansion of the Early Learning Center. Programs planned for the Center will include licensed and accredited preschool and childcare for young children ages 12 months to 6 years. It will also become home to Early Childhood Education – an academic program for students preparing to work with young children and Family Life Education – a parent education support program dealing with a wide variety of subjects important to families.

The campus is actively engaged in this complex and exciting process with many talented students, faculty and staff participating in dialogues about our plans to meet the higher education needs of our community.

I invite you to become part of Everett Community College and its bright future. Today it is a welcoming and accessible place for all who choose to come here. By joining our community of learners, you are becoming a part of our continuing success story.

I look forward to seeing you,

Dr. David Beyer
President
