Johnson County Community College

Making a difference goes beyond campus for JCCC Police Officers. 💙

This week, members of the JCCC PD proudly participated in the Special Olympics Kansas Law Enforcement Torch Run, joining fellow law enforcement agencies and participants from across the metro to carry the "Flame of Hope".

We’re proud to support this incredible statewide effort that raises both awareness and funds for a truly meaningful cause.

Big things are growing at JCCC! 🌽🥕

Open Petal Farm, part of the JCCC Center for Sustainability, is entering an exciting new chapter. The farm is being renamed Stu Shafer's Open Petal Farm in honor of the late founder of the JCCC Sustainable Agriculture Program, Sociology professor, and passionate advocate for sustainability.

The farm is also expanding through a new partnership with Johnson County K-State Extension Master Gardeners to create the JCCC Food Forest — a perennial learning garden that will provide hands-on educational opportunities, support sustainable growing practices, and feature a variety of edible plants for the community to enjoy.

Join us this Friday from 5–7 p.m. for a public dedication celebration and learn more about the future of this unique campus resource.

We can't wait to see what's next for the farm and the Food Forest as they continue to grow and serve our campus and community!

After two years at another university, Jada Gordon knew it was time for a change. She transferred to JCCC's Graphic Design program in search of a more affordable path to completing her degree and quickly felt the financial weight lift.

That relief only grew when she received a scholarship. “I have been able to go to school without worrying about large bills and tuition,” Jada said. “It makes going to school a lot less stressful.”

JCCC is committed to making higher education accessible and affordable, awarding millions of dollars in scholarships to qualified students each year. Read more about Jada's journey:
