Chancellor's Message
Welcome to Central Texas College!
On behalf of the CTC faculty and staff, we sincerely appreciate your decision to be a part of our learning community during school year 2020-2021.
The current pandemic has significantly altered our way of life to include how our nation’s colleges and universities deliver instruction and academic support services to its students. As you are aware, on March 13, 2020, a national emergency was declared concerning the COVID-19 outbreak. CTC faculty and staff immediately and successfully transitioned to an online learning and remote work environment allowing our students the opportunity to complete their spring semester/term coursework. The ingenuity of faculty and staff coupled with our students’ tenacity and resiliency made it not only possible, but a reality.
The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff remain my top priority during this pandemic crisis. While we eagerly anticipate reopening main campus in the fall and resuming normal operations at our various locations, we will do so in accordance with national, state, and local guidelines to ensure your safety and well-being. This requires a readiness to adapt to any change beyond our control as we develop and implement a strategy for a new way of serving our students worldwide.
We recognize that many of our students are experiencing financial, housing, and food insecurities during this time of uncertainty. We have put measures in place to address these needs through our College Development office, which administers an emergency student aid program and food pantry. We are committed to helping you complete your education and successfully transition into the workforce.
Finally, the COVID-19 crisis provides an opportunity for faculty and staff to continue efforts in developing strategies, practices, and processes to provide you with an accessible and quality education. I am confident in your ability to achieve your educational goals and look forward to a successful school year.
Thank you,
Jim Yeonopolus
Chancellor
