ture and equine management. The Wind Technology program is a direct response to the growth of the wind industry in
this area. It prepares students to work as operation and maintenance technicians on the large wind turbines. The program
also offers certificates in Industrial Maintenance and Motors and Controls since many of the skills and competencies are
transferable to other ground based industries. The program has many students from other states and has been featured in
several wind industry trade magazines.

FOUNDED IN 1941
OTERO JUNIOR COLLEGE, founded in 1941, joined the system in 1967. OJC has a residential campus in La Junta
and attracts students from the service area of Otero, Bent, and Crowley counties, as well as throughout Colorado. Its strong
academic and career and technical programs have established OJC as a focal point in southern Colorado. In addition to
attracting students from the immediate service area, OJC maintains a large student population of intercollegiate athletes,
representing ten National Junior College Athletic Association sports. The college also continues to build on a successful
student-centered international program. This past year, students attending OJC came from: Mongolia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan,
Japan. Brazil, South Korea, Armenia, Mexico, and South Africa.

to 1998.
Otero Junior College offers two educational tracks for students. The first is a rigorous academic track that leads to an as-
sociate of arts or associate of science degree with guarantee transfer to a four-year college or university in Colorado. This
track is utilized by students who plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree or advanced degree. The Career and Technical Educa-
tion (CTE) track offers many programs that will have the student on the job with a specific skill set within one to two years
of study. The college’s signature CTE programs include its nationally accredited nursing program and automotive technol-
ogies program. Two years ago we launched an Ag-Science program, funded by a Department of Education STEM Grant.
This program offers students the opportunity to study three emphasis areas in Agriculture Soil and Crop Science,
Agri-Business and Animal Science. Through articulation agreements developed with Colorado State University–Fort
Collins, New Mexico State University, Oklahoma Panhandle State University and West Texas A&M students are able to
seamlessly transfer into those respective institutions’Agriculture Science programs.

FOUNDED IN 1933
PUEBLO COMMUNITY COLLEGE - Since 1933, Pueblo Community College (PCC) has provided the education and
training that gives students the skills they need to qualify for good jobs or to continue their education. As a comprehen-
sive two-year public college with four campus sites, PCC serves more than 9,600 credit and non-credit students annually
though its academic, community education and workforce training programs. PCC’s main campus is in south-central
Pueblo, but it serves eight counties in four different locations. Its Fremont Campus is located in Canon City, and it has
Southwest Colorado Community College branches in Durango and Cortez/Mancos.
Through the Gorsich Advanced Technology Center, PCC is a leader in addressing education and training in various
technology-related fields. Its health career program offerings top all state community colleges. In the 2012-2013 academic
year, PCC led all Colorado institutions in total number of concurrent enrollment credit hours (11,574) provided to more
than 1,200 high school students. In November 2013, PCC, a “Military Friendly Institution,” opened a Downtown Studio
aimed at providing convenient services to veterans as well as displaced and under-employed community members.
PRESIDENT: Patty Erjavec, MNM
Pueblo native Patty Erjavec became president of PCC on June 1, 2010 after serving as president and CEO of El Pueblo …
an Adolescent Treatment Community. She served on the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education
from 2001 to 2010 and was its chair for two years. She also served several months as the Interim President of the
Colorado Community College System. Erjavec is PCC’s first woman president.
PCC offers more than 70 academic degrees, certificates and mini-certificates, including 18 Health Professions programs.
Among PCC’s Health Professions offerings are Dental Assisting and Dental Hygiene programs, both of which have clinics
that provide discounted or free services to the public. PCC is the only college in Colorado that has a nationally accredited
Medical Coding program, and in 2013 it began offering a Medical Assistant program and formed a transfer agreement with
Fort Lewis College. Another partnership with the Center for American Values enables students and community members to
take history and leadership classes at the CAV’s downtown Riverwalk headquarters.
During the past year, PCC also developed an i-Grad Program that combines remedial classes to reduce the time it takes new
students to become “college ready.” To give dropouts a second chance, the college operates two partnership programs that
enable students to earn their high school diplomas and college credits simultaneously – Gateway to College and the Alterna-
tive High School Diploma Program, which combined to graduate more than 150 students in the past year. PCC also operates a
fleet of 7 mobile learning labs that provide training to a wide variety of companies in both Southeast and Southwest Colorado.

FOUNDED IN 1925
TRINIDAD STATE JUNIOR COLLEGE was established in 1925 and joined the Colorado Community College Sys-
tem in 1968. It is the oldest public two-year college in Colorado. The college has two campuses located in beautiful south-
ern Colorado. The original campus is located in Trinidad, and the Valley Campus, is located in Alamosa. In addition to
serving eight rural counties, (Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Huerfano, Las Animas, Mineral, Rio Grande and Sagua- che), in
a service area that covers approximately 14% of the land mass in Colorado, students from all around the state and nation
are also attracted by the quality, diversity, choice and affordability of the college. Trinidad State offers programs in arts
and sciences, and career and technical education, as well as small class sizes and individualized attention. TSJC competes
in eight sports in the National Junior College Athletic Association: Women’s Volleyball, Men’s and Women’s Basketball,
Women’s Softball, Men’s Baseball, Golf and Men’s and Women’s Soccer.
PRESIDENT: Dr. Carmen Simone
Prior to serving as President of TSJC, Dr. Carmen Simone served as provost and vice-president for Academic Affairs at Lewis-
Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho. While serving in this capacity, the college adopted a centralized advising model focused
on student success. Prior to this position, she was vice president of Academic Affairs at Casper College in Wyoming where she
managed a $30 million budget. While there, her leadership was vital to the college successfully achieving a ten-year reaccredita-
tion and completing three major building projects. Before serving as VP, she taught chemistry at the college for 11 years, was
chair of the Faculty Senate and was chair of the Physical Science Division. Further, during this time, she served as president of
the National Council for Instructional Administrators. Dr. Simone holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Colorado State University in

partners, TSJC has developed two Line Technician Programs to provide training for workers in this in-demand field. TSJC
also offers a one-of-a-kind Aquaculture program and a nationally recognized Gunsmithing program.
