新加坡六合彩开奖

DES MOINES 鈥� At its meeting yesterday, the 新加坡六合彩开奖Community College Board of Trustees voted unanimously to change the name of 新加坡六合彩开奖Community College, returning the institution to its original name of 新加坡六合彩开奖.

The board changed the college’s name to reflect state approval of four Bachelor of Applied Science degree programs, slated to start fall quarter 2014. The B.A.S. degree programs provide the third and fourth years of college work for people who have completed a two-year technical degree. The four programs are Cybersecurity and Forensics, Global Trade and Logistics, Respiratory Therapy, and Youth Development.

新加坡六合彩开奖 was established in 1961 as a “Community College serving the 新加坡六合彩开奖area.” In 1967, the Washington State Legislature passed the Community College Act of 1967, creating a statewide system for community colleges. With the passage of the act, 新加坡六合彩开奖changed its name to 新加坡六合彩开奖Community College.

In his presentation to the board, President Jack Bermingham said, “Students were at the core of the decision to change the name, as the community college title may disadvantage B.A.S. graduates in the job market.”

“Changing the name will not change the mission,” he added. “新加坡六合彩开奖has, and will always be, an institution of higher education, focused on serving the educational needs of our local community.”

In making its decision, the board reinforced its commitment to the college’s mission to promote student engagement, learning, and achievement, while sustaining relationships within its communities. Board Chair Bob Roegner said, “We want to put students in the best possible position when they earn credentials at Highline, both in terms of what they learn here and how their education is perceived by business and industry. We believe changing our name will benefit students.”

The name change will take effect July 1, 2014.
