Spring semester begins Monday for more
than 27,000 students at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges amid a sense of
progress as the campuses benefit from a recovering economy and a state and
national focus on the value of community colleges.
During gatherings this week welcoming
faculty back to campus after the winter break, the college presidents
highlighted their institutions’ efforts to promote student success, increase
the number of classes being offered, and slowly add back some of the staffing
lost during the recession.
