Welcome!
This fall 2016 semester College of Marin reaches an important milestone in the institution’s history. In 1926 the first class of 87 students enrolled and over the years that number has grown to 13,000 annually. The start of this academic year marks 90 years of transforming lives through education and training!
Both campuses have been modernized with new and updated facilities, technology infrastructure upgrades, and implementation of initiatives that encourage student success. Providing a 21st century learning environment will continue thanks to Marin County voters who approved the June 2016 Measure C educational facilities bond. Stay tuned for news about the bond and how you can be involved in the planning process.
In order to keep up with changing communication methods, the President’s Weekly Briefing will no longer be sent out via email. Instead, the new College of Marin home page will feature From the President’s Desk, a blog that feeds all the articles that would have been included in the President’s Weekly Briefing as they are submitted and ready for publication.
