On behalf of the entire Daytona State College community, \u00a0it is my pleasure to welcome you to the start of another academic year. Fall is an exciting time for us who have made higher education our calling. This is especially true at Daytona State, where staff and faculty each year can bear witness to a diverse body of students whose academic needs, preparation, interests and goals are as varied as the four seasons.<\/p>\n
At Daytona State College, quality in all we do is first and foremost, from the cleanliness of our campus environment and the results-oriented service provided by our academic advisors, to the equipment you will use in our learning labs and the expertise our faculty bring to the classroom. The best part is we are able to continue this tradition of excellence during another year of austere state appropriations for higher education without the need to increase tuition for our students.<\/p>\n
We understand that times are difficult for many of our students and their families, and we are committed to providing affordable access to all who seek better opportunity through quality higher education and skills training. This is a tradition that has made Daytona State the college of first choice, the smart choice, for Volusia and Flagler County residents for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n
You will be a part of many teachable moments during your time at Daytona State, both inside and outside the classroom. Learning depends largely on how we make connections, not only with facts and concepts, but also the human kind. It is the hallmark of what we like to call the Daytona State of Mind. You will see it when you find professors who are genuinely interested in your academic success, speak with counselors and academic advisors who understand the challenges you may face and can help smooth your path toward a college degree, or in the friendships you will make by participating in the many student activities, cultural programs and Falcon sports line-ups Daytona State offers.<\/p>\n
Whether you are here to earn a certificate, an associate degree or a bachelor\u2019s degree, I encourage you to make the most of your time at Daytona State. Rest assured, we will provide you a collegial atmosphere that you can tailor to your own personal needs and desires. Ours is a college community that offers you choices and the convenience of six campuses, flexible class schedules, innovative technology and cutting-edge facilities, including academic support centers on each campus and a Daytona Beach Campus writing center enhanced this year through a partnership with the University of Central Florida.<\/p>\n
I hope you find rewards in the relationships you develop at Daytona State. Get involved. Be a part. College is a place to learn and grow. Now is your time. Spread your Falcon wings and soar!<\/p>\n
