April Is Community College Month!

ѻý Will Be Sharing Student Stories and Celebrating Success

ѻý is the “best decision ever,” according to many who have attended and acquired high-quality higher education with little or no student debt. ѻý is encouraging current and former students, supporters, business partners, and our community to join the 2025 Community College Month campaign to bring attention to the value and importance of the college to our community. 

This annual acknowledgment is a grassroots education and outreach campaign across the United States every April with the primary goal of improving awareness of the economic, academic, and employment advantages of attending community colleges. The campaign counters the common misconceptions of public two-year colleges. 

Along with substantial savings, ѻý positions students for successful careers plus guaranteed transfers to four-year colleges and universities. ѻý Workforce Development Services also provides many unique opportunities through partnerships with local businesses designed to equip students to fulfill in-demand jobs that pay a gainful income. 

ѻý is taking the opportunity this month to celebrate the importance and value of our college to our community and to demonstrate how we are cultivating skills for the future by sharing various student success stories in our local media and online.

“Consistently I am told by current and former students that selecting ѻý was one of the best decisions they ever made,” said ѻý President Jim Shaeffer. “Students share with us about the opportunities ѻý gave them, and how the individual attention and connection to faculty made a difference in their lives and careers.” 

ѻý provides a college experience you won’t find anywhere else. A high-quality, low-cost educational offering, guided by our excellent faculty, student services experts, and talented career coaches. 

Our YES! focus (YOUR Eastern Shore) is a culture of learning, caring and hospitality, that is unique to our institution.  Please take the opportunity this month (and beyond) to share, listen to, and celebrate the many successes of ѻý students!
