The Faces of a Community College

Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) has had an indelible impact on Northeast Ohio since opening its doors to students in 1963. Since then, more than 1 million community members have come to Tri-C in search of a better life. Over the decades, we have created new ways to contribute to the region socially, culturally and economically by meeting the evolving needs of Northeast Ohio’s residents and businesses and strengthening our corporate and community partnerships.

We imagine a future in which every citizen, regardless of where they live, is educated and supported to enter a career where they can earn what they need to care for their family — a future where their children can grow and prosper here in Northeast Ohio. To that end, we are committed to providing greater clarity around career pathways and increasing postcollege success.

Our impact is not confined to our campuses. It reverberates throughout Cuyahoga County and beyond, shaping the future of our community, one student, one program and one partnership at a time.
