Volume 7, Issue 6 • January 2013

To the Triton College Community:Let me begin by expressing my hope that your holiday seasonwas a happy and healthy one. On behalf of the Triton CollegeBoard of Trustees, I would like to wish you all the best for2013. As we begin the New Year and welcome back our stu-dent body, we are excited about the opportunities we willhave to positively impact the lives of our students and the residents of the Triton College community.

The recently approved agreement between Triton Collegeand Dominican University provides another outstanding op-

portunity for our students. As a new member of our University Center program, the agreementwith Dominican University will offer our students, beginning this fall, the chance to pursue aBachelor of Arts degree in Legal Studies on our campus, with a 57 percent reduced tuition rate.We welcome Dominican University to Triton College and look forward to a long and beneficialrelationship.

In continuing our outreach efforts to prospective Triton students, we recently held our annualEarly College Awareness program. Area middle school students came to the Triton campus tolearn about future career opportunities in horticulture, criminal justice and health careers. We were also pleased to welcome more than 90 local high school students to the annual PATHE (Providing Access to Higher Education) to Success program, which provided these students withimportant information on applying to colleges, preparing for ACT/SAT exams and information on securing financial aid.

Finally, I would like to extend a personal thank you to a true Ameri-can hero, Capt. Eugene Cernan. The retired U.S. Navy Officer and for-mer NASA astronaut visited our campus to host a large group of areaelementary school students, holding them spellbound with tales ofhis career in space exploration. As the last man to have left his foot-prints on the surface of the moon, and the man whose name we arehonored to have on our Space Center, Capt. Cernan is a truly inspiringman. We are fortunate he took time from his busy schedule to returnto his roots here at Triton College.

I hope you enjoy this issue of Page One, and I look forward to hear-ing how Triton College can serve you. Please feel free to contact methrough the Triton College Office of the President at (708) 456-0300,Ext. 3201 or e-mail me at mstephens@triton.edu.

Best regards,

Mark R. Stephens, Chairman, Triton College Board of Trustees

Triton students commit to finishing theireducation

Developed by the Triton College StudentAssociation (TCSA), the Commit to Com-plete campaign is an answer to PresidentObama’s Completion Agenda which callsfor community colleges nationwide todouble the number of graduates by theyear 2020. TCSA kicked off the campaignin 2011 by having students pledge to com-plete their education, while Triton facultyand staff also pledged to help studentssucceed.

Students lined up to sign the Commit toComplete banner at the event, which con-cluded with a resource fair of the availableservices and resources on campus.

“There are a ton of resources available tohelp you succeed,” said TCSA PresidentShakana Polk to the audience. “Triton’sstaff, administration and faculty are heretoday because they support you and wantto see you succeed.”
