Welcome to the 2026-27 academic year at Isothermal Community College. Whether you are joining us for the first time, returning after time away, or continuing toward your next goal, we are glad you are here.

A new year brings excitement, opportunity and, sometimes, a few questions along the way. Please know that you do not have to navigate it alone. I encourage you to connect with others, ask for help when you need it and take full advantage of the people and resources here to support you.

To our faculty and staff, welcome back and thank you. Your care, commitment and daily work create the kind of welcoming environment where students can learn, grow and succeed. I am grateful for all you do for our students and for Isothermal.

This year, we will continue working together to create opportunities, strengthen our community and help every student move forward with confidence.

Students, I encourage you to set goals, try something new, and never hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you succeed.

Welcome back, Patriots. I am excited for the year ahead and for all we will accomplish together.

 

Dr. Margaret Annunziata

President, Isothermal Community College
