As I’m sure most students are aware of by now, KC is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. As students during this special year, we are experiencing history in the making. Being a part of such a historical year is something we can all look back on years from now and remember fondly, but only if we choose to act now and make the best of the time we have here.

A wide variety of types of college students make up the student body at KC. Everyone is here to learn, but our intentions and directions vary. Some may be returning to college to earn an additional degree, some may be interested in learning a new trade and some may be entering college for the first time.
