Will you collaborate with us to build a legacy that generates robust workforce programs and student services that place people in new careers? Your partnership is needed and deeply valued as we seek to change lives together through education that works.
Donations Change Lives. Give Today
Studies show that more than 80% of community college students live, work, raise their families, start businesses, shop, and volunteer right where they attend college.
CGCC Students truly are our future!
Building Success
Columbia Gorge Community College is building success! We answered the call of our students, partners, and community and took a bold step forward with the construction of a new regional workforce skills center and student residential hall on The Dalles campus. With a strong vision of our future in place, we are prepared for growth, discovery and service.
The completion of these two new buildings represent the largest expansion of the college’s physical capacity since 2008, when CGCC opened classroom buildings in Hood River and The Dalles.
