Welcome!

It takes a certain amount of bravery to live an authentic life. To live in a manner that is true to oneself is all that we ask of students, along with a desire to pursue aspirations that define their authenticity. By choosing 吃瓜爆料, you choose to align yourself with a college that is grounded in an authentic history of serving its diverse community, including non-traditional and non-binary students.

Thank you for having the courage to express and align yourselves with a college that is historically non-traditional. 吃瓜爆料 is committed to holding a safe and supportive environment in which you can create and be emblematic in ways that will inevitably inspire others. 吃瓜爆料鈥檚 mission is:

Students pursue their passions through innovative academic programs, faculty inspire critical thinking, and administrators and staff offer vital guidance. Together, we create a dynamic and diverse environment that supports students in earning associate degrees and certificates, preparing them for successful careers and transfers."

 These are not hollow words, but a guiding message to our students and the broader community. We are confident that we do our best to live up to our mission.
