Olympic College Annual Report
Expanding Perspectives, Inspiring Learning
2006-2007 Olympic College Annual Report
Message from the President:
At Olympic College, we are committed to meeting the needs of students and the community. We started as a small junior college in 1946, and since then, have expanded to three campuses in Kitsap and Mason counties – at the request of local residents.
Along the way, the college has grown in new directions – such as being one of four community colleges in the state to offer a four-year degree program, starting the college’s first international student program, and supporting a national effort by colleges and universities to reduce impacts on the climate. Olympic College has also replaced aging facilities with new buildings so they are on par with universities and has continued to look for ways to expand the college that will serve the community for the future. As we witness the changes, we realize the college has constantly transformed itself over the years – and is expanding perspectives to adapt to the needs of the local community.
On behalf of the college, I am honored to present our 2006-2007 annual report, Expanding Perspectives, Inspiring Learning.
It is with the hard work of faculty, staff, donors, community members, business and non-profit leaders, elected officials, and many others that the college is able to take a sometimes challenging road to expanding perspectives and inspiring learning. However, the benefits are significant. The college is able to stay at the forefront, providing programs of value to the community and students and delivering them using current technology that promote and inspire learning.
This year, we’ve combined the annual report with a 2008 calendar. To represent expanding perspectives and the ways the college inspires learning, please take a look at the striking photos by some of our former Olympic College students. We're very proud of our students and the commitment of our faculty and staff to expanding perspectives and inspiring learning to make an even better college.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Mitchell
President, Olympic College
