Letter from the President

San Diego Continuing Education has been making history for 94 years. We were the first – and remain the only – community college continuing education institution in California to meet the standards for independent accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. We were one of the first in California to establish a joint high school diploma partnership with the local school district. San Diego Continuing Education was also among the first continuing education programs in California to serve 100,000 students per academic year.

Today, San Diego Continuing Education is once again making history. Faculty, staff, and administration are responding to community needs in unprecedented ways. Continuing Education is recommitted to opening its doors to all who are motivated to learn and enrich their lives. We offer more opportunities than ever before through new classes, programs, and services to the community. We are replacing outdated equipment and building new facilities where needed to provided state-of-the-art learning environments for San Diegans. We are creating new learning pathways that lead to vocational certificates and Associate degrees at City, Mesa, and Miramar Colleges. Continuing Education is also developing new community, industry, and business partnerships to maximize public resources.

San Diego Continuing Education is providing new opportunities to change lives. Improved skills and new knowledge leads to better jobs. Continuing Education’s successful students are found in and around San Diego, the state, nation, and world. Each one of these outstanding individuals is contributing to society – making history in his or her own way.

I challenge you to look for opportunities as a student, faculty or staff member, or as a business partner in our community, to continue the 94 year-old legacy of San Diego Continuing Education.

Let’s make history together!

Anthony E. Beebe, Ed.D.
President
