The Community College section promotes dialogue and research about the transformative role of communication education within community college settings. Our section and advocacy work addresses topics unique to the intersection of two-year institutions and community, as well as the broader contexts of the communication discipline and higher education. We sponsor conference programs, engage in relevant research, and share practical advice about a variety of topics including program & course development, student-centered pedagogical approaches, student demographics, administrative challenges, the influence of community colleges within higher education, and special programming on community.
