Mission

Mission Statement
Mountain Gateway Community College prepares students to reach their potential through high standards, dynamic programming, financial and geographic accessibility, and an inclusive community.

Vision Statement
Mountain Gateway Community College changes lives, strengthens community, and provides pathways to success through commitment to accessibility, learning, inclusion, and integrity.

Values

  • Accessibility: We provide opportunities to advance education and achieve goals by eliminating both academic and non-academic barriers through the delivery of affordable, diverse, and relevant pathways.
  • Learning: We encourage and promote the sharing of knowledge, the importance of innovation, and the empowerment of students through teaching and learning focused on developing tools to reach their academic potential.
  • Inclusion: We embrace the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and beliefs that collectively form the MGCC community and recognize these differences as the strength to grow, enrich, and thrive together.
  • Integrity: We believe that the dream of educational attainment is best realized when all members of the MGCC community respect academic honesty, promote accountability, and demonstrate responsibility for themselves and others.
