The Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) President Ryan Quarles visited Somerset Community College (SCC) this week as part of his statewide “Focus on the Future” Tour. He participated in a listening session with SCC leadership, a tour of campus, visits to several classes, an open forum with faculty and staff, and a luncheon with many local community leaders. During the community leader luncheon Dr. Quarles urged support for Somerset Community College and KCTCS. He highlighted key priorities: mental health, workforce development, and making higher education accessible to all Kentuckians. Dr. Quarles says he aims to position KCTCS as Kentucky’s premier resource for skilled workers, driving economic growth and opportunity.
