Mt. San Jacinto College was recently named as one of the nation's top 150 community colleges eligible to compete for the 2015 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence and $1 million in prize funds.
The prize, awarded every two years, is an official recognition of high achievement and performance among community colleges. Schools are judged in four areas: Student learning, certificate and degree completion, employment and earnings, and high levels of access and success for minority and low-income students.
Mt. San Jacinto College and the other eligible schools were selected from a national pool of more than 1,000 public two-year colleges. Prize winners will be announced in early 2015.
"This prestigious distinction from the Aspen Institute is an honor to Mt. San Jacinto College and a testament to the hard work of our faculty and staff," said Dr. Roger Schultz, superintendent/president of MSJC. "We are proud to be one of the eight colleges in California named as one of the nation's top 150."
A full list of the 150 community colleges is available at www.AspenPrize.org.
