• In recent years the College has renovated McDivitt Hall, renovated the Victor Cuiss Fieldhouse, added a state-of-the-art Information Technology and Library building (William Atkinson Hall), built campus housing complexes including family residences, renovated the core of Whiting Hall and renamed it the Rawal Center for Health Professions, and expanded student life with the return of athletics. In 2011 the Health Laboratory Center (HLC) was completed. The HLC includes laboratory spaces for nursing and allied health programs, including sonography, radiography, respiratory care, medical assistance and emergency medical technician. Bert Walker Hall has been renovated and serves as a center for student services, admissions, financial aid, tutoring services, veterans resources and multicultural center. JC was founded as Jackson Junior College in 1928 and operated as a division of the Jackson Union School District. In 1962, Jackson County voters created Jackson Community College as a distinct entity; and in 1964, they passed a charter millage that still helps to fund the College today. Rapid enrollment and program growth in the 1960s spurred leadership to build a new campus on its present site. Today, the College owns more than 500 acres and sits on a scenic rural site six miles south of the city of Jackson, and also operates the W.J. Maher Campus in Jackson, JC @ LISD TECH in Adrian, and the Clyde E. LeTarte Center Hillsdale. An integral educational and economic force in the Jackson, Lenawee and Hillsdale communities, the College operates on general fund budget of nearly $42 million.

A great day of learning, connection and collaboration! Approximately 60 students and community members joined Jackson College and Consumers Energy for a Mentoring & Pathways event Friday focused on careers, professional connections and preparing for the workplace. Students had the opportunity to talk directly with 50 Consumers Energy Ambassadors about career opportunities, preparing for interviews and what employers look for. The event also brought together 30 Jackson College volunteers, creating meaningful connections between students, faculty and professionals in the field.

And the conversations won't end here! The collaboration is opening doors to future opportunities, including plans to make this an annual event, upcoming training opportunities with Consumers Energy's Emergency Response Department in JC's Simulation Lab, and new connections between faculty and industry professionals that can bring real-world applications into the classroom.

Thank you to all who brought this event to students!
