My vision for Atlantic Cape
- Dr. Peter Mora, President
- As president of the Atlantic Cape Community College, my primary focus is to foster student learning by promoting access, excellence and stewardship for all programs and services offered at Atlantic Cape. In collaboration with the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, students, and the community, the concepts of access, excellence, and stewardship constitute foundational principles upon which to develop a shared vision for the college aimed at enhancing student learning on a comprehensive basis. With the initiation of statewide community college systems following the Truman Commission Report (1947), the ongoing challenge of maximizing access for diverse constituent groups, while maintaining quality educational standards, has been one of the most demanding with respect to fulfilling the mission. Truly effective institutions demonstrate the ability to incorporate both access and excellence into the mission, goals, and daily operations of the college. In fact, ACCC’s current Mission Statement clearly states that the college is committed to both access and excellence. ACCC is a special place with a compelling history and an exciting future!
