President’s Message

Employee Development Day – Oct. 30 

As Alamo Colleges tries to improve student success, one area being overhauled is developmental education in math and English/Reading. There are huge changes being implemented between now and fall 2014, and frankly it is more than a little scary. 

The Employee Giving Campaign officially kicked off with a bang on Sept. 16 at the September All College Meeting.

There are two goals for this year’s NVC campaign:

Northwest Vista College and Alamo Colleges take crisis planning seriously. Over the last several months, Alamo Colleges has ramped up its emergency training efforts in the wake of deadly tragedies on educational campuses across the nation.

I thought you all would be interested in knowing that on Sept. 6, we sent to SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) our monitoring report.

If you were able to participate in the NVC Convocation on Aug. 22, you know that the Alamo Colleges will soon be rolling out a new set of shared values and that all the Colleges will be adopting those values.

This is not playing games! It is developing and programming games.
