April is Community College Month, a time to reflect on the impact community colleges have in the lives of students and entire communities. This year, the time of recognition is especially important as Elizabethtown Community and Technical College celebrates its 60th anniversary.

Community leaders who were nothing short of visionary invested years championing and establishing the college. What pride they must have felt when the college first opened its doors in 1964 to 355 students, and what pride that legacy has given so many since.

Dr. Juston Pate is president and CEO of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College. To learn more, go to elizabethtown.kctcs.edu.
