Campus & Community
As our mission states, “Through excellence in teaching, innovative services, and community partnerships, the College advances the quality of life of our students and community.” We strive to live our mission each and every day. Jefferson is a primary partner in many local educational partnerships and programs. We are proud to serve in this role and will continue to strengthen our community through partnerships and collaboration.
