Zoey never thought she’d go to college. Working full time, unsure of her path and barely making ends meet, she felt stuck . Then she found a community—and her path—at FRCC.

Front Range Community College has selected Anne Marie Jacobson as a new dean of instruction at the school’s Larimer Campus in Fort Collins.

Getting involved in activities at school was critical for Monica Martinez from an early age. She chose to attend FRCC for her first two years of college because it costs significantly less than a four-year university. But she also wanted all the campus involvement opportunities of a bigger school.

An early stint at a private college landed Emily Kramer in serious debt. FRCC helped her find a new path to becoming a research scientist.

Front Range Community College has been awarded designation as a Military Friendly® School, ranked No. 2 in the country in the large community college category, according to the website militaryfriendly.com.

After eight years as director of the Larimer Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Mike OConnell has announced his plan to retire at the end of the year.
The SBDC has nearly quadrupled the number of local businesses served under OConnell’s leadership.

Giovanni Hernandez arrived in the US when he was in 10th grade. He had no trouble with the concepts he was learning in high school, but he struggled with learning English at first.
A couple of years—and lot of hard work later—he came to FRCC to prepare himself for a four-year university. His says those classes gave him the foundational support he needed to be successful in college. He’s now studying civil engineering at the University of Colorado-Boulder, and is set to graduate with his bachelor’s degree next year.

Front Range Community College is hosting COVID-19 vaccination clinics on July 1 at each of our three campuses. They are open to everyone age 12 and up—for first or second dose.
