Enriching Lives: Enrichment Programs Can Benefit Colleges and Their Communities
Pierce, Dennis
Community College Journal, v93 n1 p24-29 Aug-Sep 2022
Enrichment programs make up a small but significant part of a community college's offerings. In some cases, their impact can be enormous--especially in rural areas where a community college might be the only source of enrichment for residents. Community enrichment programs also can be challenging to administer. For instance, it can be hard to find and recruit skilled instructors, maintain high standards of quality, make people aware of enrichment programming, and even justify its value when budgets are tight. This article focuses on enrichment programs at the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) and SUNY Adirondack in upstate New York. Beyond the value they create for the colleges, these enrichment programs play an important role within the communities they serve.
