Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC) is a public two-year college supported by the State of Connecticut and governed by the Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges. One of 12 institutions in the community college system, QVCC’s service region is Windham County in the northeastern corner of the state. The College conducts its educational and service programs from two locations: a 68 acre campus on the outskirts of Danielson and a Center in downtown Willimantic.

QVCC has developed comprehensive degree and certificate programs to be responsive to the needs of the residents and prides itself on offering academic programs of high quality. Its graduates transfer easily to many four-year colleges and universities, and its occupational programs are highly regarded by area employers. The College also has partnerships with the University of Connecticut and Eastern Connecticut State University utilizing the concept of join admissions. With UConn, the program is called the Guaranteed Admissions Program, and with ECSU it is the Transfer Compact.

QVCC has a strong and growing program of continuing education and community services activities. The Center for Community & Professional Learning (CPL) works in partnership with college and community constituencies to develop and provide innovative program and service initiatives that respond to community learning needs and support local economic development efforts. The programs and services include credit-free courses, job-focused training options, customized training services, small business consulting, and programs as varied as Learning in Retirement and Kids Academy. The College also functions to a large extent as a community center, opening its library and many events to the general public.

The College works actively to enable area businesses and industries to receive cost-effective, customized employee training and development services. Such services include: free consultation to define existing training needs; assessment of training needs; and implementation of cost-effective on-site or college-based company specific training and development programs. Training available to businesses is diverse and includes computer-related software applications, lean manufacturing, statistical process control, and numerous professional development programs for supervisors and managers.

Between 1999 and 2004, the College’s enrollment has grown almost 34%. Enrollment for 2003-2004 was 1,571 for the fall semester and 1,511 for spring. Plans are underway for a 30,000 square foot addition that will house eight new classrooms, a new bookstore, library expansion, art gallery, community meeting room, and increased office space. In addition the project includes partial renovation of existing space, including a plastic technology lab, a computer classroom, the Learning Center, and the CPL Office.

QVCC has established itself as a dynamic, viable and significant institution in and for the community it serves.
