Clark State Community College to become Clark State College in 2021!
Clark State Board of Trustees approved the name change from Clark State Community College to Clark State College at the October meeting. The change will become effective January 1, 2021. This will be the college's fourth name change in its 58-year history.
Last fall the administration, through the shared governance system, began working with the Faculty, Staff and Student Senates, who all passed resolutions to recommend a name change from Clark State Community College to Clark State College. All senates passed these resolutions by spring 2020.
With the addition of the applied baccalaureate degrees in Manufacturing Technology Management and Web Development and Design, it is important to encompass the advancements in educational opportunities and reflect the highest degree awarded at the college. The name change serves as a reflection of our commitment to being even more inclusive as we recognize how the college serves students of all types, from those enrolled in short-term training and certificate programs to those completing associate and bachelor's degrees. Clark State's mission will remain the same: to engage and empower diverse learners by providing high-quality educational programs and services that emphasize student and community success.
Clark State's Workforce and Business Solutions provides employee training opportunities that help businesses and organizations succeed. Clark State will continue to serve regional industries and address skills gaps with the same high quality service and excellence that we have provided for nearly 60 years.
