Learning for Work and Life
CEI is a place of learning where students prepare for transfer, careers, and effective
citizenship. The college embraces active learning, and provides instruction that is not
only academically rigorous, but tailored to the needs of the student and the community.
Learning for work and life takes place in all areas of campus through transfer degrees,
career-technical education, college and career readiness, and workforce training.
Student-Centered
CEI faculty and staff throughout the college are committed to students and their
success. Well-functioning student support areas are critical to our students' success
because they help model outstanding professional behaviors, and they provide
comprehensive student support from first contact through degree and/or employment.
Community Engagement
CEI's focus on community is evident in a safe and inviting campus, which fosters
communication, professional growth and adult enrichment through broad, collaborative
relationships within academic and employer communities throughout the region.
