3C InitiativeCentral Community College cares about our water, energy, land use, natural and built environment, and community health. For our communities and ultimately the world at large, we believe environmental sustainability is important, and is connected to social and economic sustainability. At CCC we define environmental sustainability as meeting “the needs of the present without

compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (1987 Brundtland report). Our “3C Initiative” is our collective efforts across CCC to build the culture, knowledge and practices for a sustainable future. Join us in this important journey. Come learn with us as part of our Sustainability Leadership Presentation Series! It is free and open to the public. Go to www.cccneb.edu/sustain/SLPS for more information.

It's time for the Fall semester to begin at Central Community College and that means a fresh start for everyone. The Extended Learning Services office is proud to show in pictures what some of our students have been doing. Do you see a friend, neighbor or child you know? We were involved in all areas of learning from worms to youth summer camps to massages to GED classes and graduations. Enjoy our photographic year in review!
