Editor's Notes

Among centers of higher education, community colleges are often at the vanguard of institutional collaboration. With so many agendas—responding to needs of local communities, preparing students for the workplace, soliciting funds to strengthen resources, and preparing students for the transition to four-year colleges and universities and the pursuit of their baccalaureate degrees—institutional success is often a function of organized, long-range, and cooperative relationships within and among these institutions.
