 Welcome to Parkland College!
“Change,” the campaign buzzword this election year, really can be a good thing. Exciting changes at Parkland College this year include a beautifully remodeled X-wing and the East Annex that now houses several Health Professions programs as well as the Business Development Center and Construction Education Alliance. We expect to see other great changes over the next 24 months as well, such as improved processing speed/efficiency for admissions, academics, financial aid, and other student information services, once our new campuswide computer system is fully in place.
Yet some of the best things in life don’t change, like Parkland’s reputation for preparing high-caliber graduates for both successful careers in the workplace and transfer to four-year colleges. In fact, our university partners tell us that their Parkland transfer students often earn better GPAs in school than their native students, while many of our technical/professional career graduates report strong employment rates and competitive salaries.
Parkland College couldn’t enjoy such stalwart success without highly qualified faculty, caring support services, and counselors/advisors who tirelessly keep abreast of curriculum changes here and at 15-plus universities of transfer. I must, however, take a moment to recognize those who work daily behind the scenes: those who make sure that the campus is clean and its grounds lovely; who operate our radio/TV stations, theatre, planetarium, and art gallery; who schedule rooms and classes; who keep our computers running; and who make sure people get paid. This kind of dependability needs no changing, even when our surroundings, programs, and services change for the better.
Welcome to Parkland; we’re glad you’re here.
