Triton College is proud to announce that we will be celebrating our 50th anniversary in just a few short years. The college was founded in 1964 and since that time has graduated more than 50,000 alumni--not to mention the thousands of others who have taken advantage of courses and programming for both personal and professional development, training, and education. Our role within the community spans deep as shown in the economic impact Triton has had on our district and beyond. We strive to enhance the lives of our students directly expanding their knowledge base and skill set to assist them in reaching their career goals. Through that work we are able to assist the economic development and future for our community.
- Triton College adds skills to the workforce and boosts the competitiveness of area businesses.
- Triton College alumni generate millions of dollars annually in local, state, and federal tax revenues.
- A Triton College education increases earnings for workers. By completing courses, students gain skills that contribute to higher earnings, and graduates enjoy even higher returns.
- On average, all Triton College students who completed their education in FY 05 and worked year-round saw a 36.6% increase in earnings over their pre-enrollment wages.
- As a major employer and business entity, Triton College generates millions of dollars in local sales and wages and an estimated 1,622 full- and part-time jobs.
Turning 50 is special and we feel that it deserves many opportunities for our community to celebrate with us. We hope that you will take some time to look at the many events that are currently being planned and will take part in commemorating our milestone with us. We are your community college and know that our community has historically been involved in the many activities, programs, and initiatives of our institution. And, we need for the engagement and involvement to continue. If you have any ideas on how we can make our 50th Anniversary the best it can be, please share them with us. If you have Triton memorabilia, memories, or suggestions, please share them with us. If you would like to volunteer to assist in the planning or execution of our celebratory events, sign up today!
