As Dallas College leaders lay the groundwork for continued educational excellence, the Board of Trustees will host a series of virtual, community town hall sessions beginning in August. These one-hour online sessions will help educate Dallas County employers and citizens about how the college is preparing students for living-wage jobs and adapting to employee needs in today’s ever-changing environment.
Addressing income disparity in the community and providing an educated workforce are two of the Board of Trustees’ Strategic Priorities. Each session will focus on a particular topic and feature local leaders, subject matter experts and Dallas College students.

Our History
