ANNUAL REPORT
DAMIAN JOHNSON
is a 2012 graduate of Battle Creek Central High School. Johnson decided to attend KCC because it was close to home and affordable, and the smaller classes facilitated better relationships with his professors. Johnson continued his studies at KCC even after earning an associate degree, completing prerequisites with plans to transfer into Western Michigan University’s Exercise Science Program.

Friends of KCC
I am delighted to share with you the 2018-19 annual report from Kellogg Community College and the Kellogg Community College Foundation. On behalf of both organizations, thank you for your continued support of the College, where we are more committed than ever to providing our students with viable opportunities for success. This past year, we continued to hone our services, processes and curriculum to ensure students can navigate smoothly through their higher education journey. We are working every day as an institution to strengthen partnerships and remove obstacles so our Bruins can succeed in the classroom, complete degrees, transfer to universities and begin fulfilling careers. If you haven’t been on one of our campuses in a while, I invite you to visit. In 2018-19, we finished a $4.3 million renovation of our Regional Manufacturing Technology Center, completed a $10 million rebuild of our Miller Physical Education Building and launched several other improvement projects, including a beautiful campus gateway at North and Roosevelt avenues in Battle Creek.As always, it’s a great time to be a Bruin!Mark P.
