From the president ’ s desk PROVIDED BY EASTERN MAINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Eastern Maine Community College is a place where we help transform people’s lives. It is a place that adult students are receiving training that they need for promotions in their current jobs or retraining for new careers. It also is a great place for recent high school graduates to begin their college degree by earning their associate’s degree and then going on to graduate from private and public universities in Maine and other universities across the United States. Our mission is to provide the highest quality technical, career and liberal arts education and to serve as a key community and economic development resource for the entire EMCC service area. We pride ourselves in our academic programs and also the learning that takes place both inside and outside the classroom. EMCC is a Great College and a Smart Choice! LISA LARSON, PRESIDENT
“The focus on invigorating our state’s workforce, growing our economy, and enhancing Maine’s quality of life is evident throughout the M aine Community College System. EMCC combines the qualities of excellence and affordability to fully earn its motto: Great College, Smart Choice.” FROM SENATOR COLLINS, EXCEPT FROM GRADUATION COMMENCEMENT SPEECH, MAY 13, 2016
We offer over 30 one- and two-year program options, as well as short term and specialized training and retraining courses for business, industry, and community. We award associate
in applied science, associate in science, and associate in arts degrees; certificates; diplomas; and documents of completion for customized, short-term programs and courses. At EMCC, we prepare technicians and skilled workers for careers in mechanical, engineering, and construction industries; allied health professions; and business occupations. We develop programs of study in cooperation with experts currently working in representative areas of technology and business. We are dedicated to providing all students with a well-balanced education focused on problem solving, decision making, communications, social understanding, computer applications, mathematics, and science. Our technology programs include concentrated studies in both technical theory and application in the area of specialization, and all of our programs require liberal arts courses to form the foundation for lifelong learning. Our programs and student support services are designed to develop leadership skills, personal responsibility, teamwork, and appreciation of the complex world around us. Located in the heart of Bangor, our 72-acre campus is adjacent to the Hogan Road exit off Interstate 95 — just a short distance from Eastern Maine Medical Center, downtown Bangor, and the Bangor Mall — and is served by public transportation. Campus facilities include four buildings that house classroom, lab, and shop spaces; two residence halls; Johnston Gymnasium; and the Campus Center, a focal point of campus activities including the Enrollment Center, library, classrooms, and McCorkill Dining Hall.
