Greetings!
The 2023-2024 academic year marks a momentous period in the history of Chattahoochee Valley Community College (CVCC), the 50th Anniversary. In 1973, the Alabama Legislature established the
College and it opened its doors in January 1974. Now, 50 years later, CVCC has grown to become one of the greatest resources in the Chattahoochee Valley Region.
The College has experienced many milestones and has enjoyed a rich history over this 50-year time span. Instructional courses have grown from general transfer and business offerings to also include a full array of career and technical educational options in high-wage, high-demand fields. We are a comprehensive community college, preparing students for academic transfer as well as technical careers including health sciences, applied technology, business and information technology, visual communications, multimedia design, and more.
CVCC has a faculty, staff and student population that is diverse and inclusive of individuals from all walks of
life. Students are excelling academically and in their chosen careers. Our championship athletic programs are
preparing students to be scholars as well as great competitors. The College has expanded the campus footprint to include four buildings previously owned by Troy University. This acquisition has enabled us to improve our service to students as well as respond to business and industry needs by enhancing our program offerings.
CVCC is transforming and capitalizing on a legacy of excellence; and it is my pleasure to serve as the sixth
president of the College, during this time unprecedented change and prosperity. The College is indeed an
excellent educational resource for the citizens in the Chattahoochee Valley Region and we look forward to
continued growth and opportunity as we forge ahead into the next 50 years.
Whether you are returning to our college or enrolling with us for the first time, we are elated to have you as a
student, and we are willing and ready to serve you. Our goal is to be as accessible and resourceful as possible,
so we encourage you to let us know your needs. The College offers a friendly, nurturing environment, and we support our students from start to finish. We are committed to excellence in customer service as well as educational delivery. The College has positioned itself to engage our students in the classroom and empower them by being willing and eager participants in their educational pursuits. We are preparing our students to enter the labor market, advance to four-year colleges and universities, become leaders and providers for their families, and be responsible citizens in the community.
We take our jobs as educational leaders very seriously, and we are dedicated to providing the best possible
service to the citizens of this area. We assure you that you are in the right place at the right time!
Welcome to CVCC and thank you for choosing to be a part of the Pirate Family!
Jacqueline B. Screws
President
