[edit] History
Founded in Auburn, New York, in 1953 under the sponsorship of the Auburn City School District with the approval of the State University of New York, the college was originally known as Auburn Community College. When Cayuga County assumed sponsorship for the College in 1975, the name was officially changed to Cayuga County Community College. In 1994 the college opened classrooms in Fulton, New York. In 2006, the State University of New York and the State Education Department designated the Fulton campus as a branch campus of the college, offering entire degree programs on-site.[2]
In 2003, the James T. Walsh Regional Economic Center opened on the Auburn campus. The building houses classrooms, employment agencies, the NASA-sponsored Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology, and the college's Business and Industry Center. The center was funded by federal, state and local governments as well as private contributors.
[edit] Governance
The college is governed by a ten-member Board of Trustees. The Governor appoints four trustees for seven-year terms, five are appointed by the Cayuga County Legislature for seven-year terms, and a student trustee is elected annually and serves for one year. Dennis Golladay became the college's sixth president in July 1996.[3]
[edit] Publications
The student newspaper is the Cayuga Collegian. The Auburn/Cayuga Community College Association publishes the ACC/CCC alumni newsletter every semester.[4]
