Columbia Gorge Community College has been reviewing its enrollment and demographics data over the course of the last five years. CGCC Director of Advising and Outreach Karly Aparicio says there was a dip in enrollment during the pandemic, but that has bounced back. She adds their demographics show the typical CGCC student is actually “everyone,” but it has trended older in recent years. Aparicio says the data does show opportunities to better serve the Gorge community for a wider range of students. Options for that include changing how some classes are offered, growing the number of high school students who have access to in-person instruction, and adding new programs.
