Guth, Douglas J. – Community College Journal, 2023
Change is a constant both in life and on the typical community college campus.

Fueled by exponential advances in technology, the world will change more in the next few decades than in all of human history, futurist Thomas Frey says.

Community colleges have evolved a lot over the decades, but as much as they've changed over the years, they've remained true to their core mission of serving their community's needs.
