The Q&A highlights Alexandria Technical & Community College's significant impact on the Alexandria Lakes area, including partnerships with community and industry leaders to provide real-world experiences for students, the college's role in training high school instructors, and its involvement in community events like the annual Diversity Fest. Additionally, it highlights initiatives like the RAISE program and the Next Generation Nursing Assistant program, which offered free courses to eligible residents. Challenges are also addressed, such as the upcoming "enrollment cliff" and public scrutiny of the return on investment of college education. As a result, ATCC is engaging with adult learners, enriching the student experience, and investing in support services for a diverse student body.
