This resolution designates April 2025 as Community College Month, recognizing the critical role of community colleges in Michigan's educational and economic landscape. The resolution highlights that Michigan has 28 community and three tribal colleges serving 283,000 students, granting 20,200 degrees and 10,500 certificates annually. It emphasizes the importance of community colleges in supporting workforce development, providing affordable education, and helping the state achieve its goal of increasing working-age adults with skill certificates or college degrees to 60 percent by 2030. The resolution also acknowledges specific programs like Michigan Reconnect and the Michigan Achievement Scholarship Community College Guarantee, which have enabled thousands of students to access tuition-free education and earn credentials. By designating a specific month to celebrate community colleges, the resolution aims to underscore their significant contributions to individual student success and broader state progress through practical training and community support.
