The College is constantly keeping an eye on the future. The economic landscape for business and industry is changing rapidly, and new avenues of prosperity are opening every day. To stay ahead of the curve, we are constantly forecasting the needs of students, communities, and businesses and industries to make sure we are ready with the programs and services they will need to succeed. Our traditional sources of public funding cannot keep pace with the demands of those we serve, or with our vision of being the best community and technical college in the state. While state funding to Southeast has been greatly reduced in recent years, the demand for our programs and services has never been greater. Private support provides that critical margin of difference that keeps Southeast flexible and responsive and that assures access with excellence.



In response to the best advice of business, government, and civic leaders in our service area, Southeast has identified eleven initiatives for the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign that will greatly enhance our capacity to meet the needs of southeastern Kentucky.
