Mission Statement

The goal of 2YC₃ Report is to show the role two-year colleges play in chemical education, with emphasis on the innovative ways two-year college instructors meet the needs of the diverse, non-traditional students enrolled in two-year colleges. To quote a college president, "We don't recruit stars, we make them."

One purpose of this feature is to share what chemistry instructors at various two-year colleges around the country are doing. The source for many of the articles is from the Two-Year College Chemistry Regional Conferences. A second purpose is to have leaders in education, government and ACS share their thoughts and perspectives on two-year colleges. Articles are solicited from a variety of sources. In addition to outstanding chemistry teachers from all over the country, authors have included a Congressman, an official from the Department of Education, the President of ACS, and the President of the United States.
