Pres. Alvarez (@talvarez2) has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community engagement and student success. As a #firstgen non-traditional student himself, he has been a tremendous champion of our open access mission. His positive leadership will be greatly missed.

Today we celebrated @DrLindaLujan and her many accomplishments as @lamarcomcollege president. Her passion for the #commcollege mission is unmatched, and her steady leadership set an example for all of us. While we will miss her dearly, we know she'll always represent #LopesPride.

.@GoCCCS colleges are revitalizing Colorado's #healthcare workforce. CCCS Foundation executive director Adam Cermak and I were delighted to join @PCCpueblo president Dr. @PattyErjavec and @PuebloCounty Commissioner Garrison Ortiz to celebrate this milestone.
CCCS Chancellor Joe Garcia was on hand to celebrate the opening of @PCCpueblo's new Nursing and Allied Health Teaching and Learning Center on the Centura campus in Pueblo. The state-of-the-art facility will help meet demands for skilled workers in Pueblo and beyond.

The work of Martin Luther King Jr. and those who fought beside him opened the doors for so many disenfranchised people—including me. As we reflect on Dr. King’s legacy today, let’s pledge to open doors for others and continue the fight for justice.
