Seven NW colleges unite to form local higher-ed coalition
Everett Community College is joining six other colleges and universities to form the Northwest Higher Education Coalition, a group working together to increase higher education opportunities in northwestern Washington.
The coalition includes Bellingham Technical College, Everett Community College, Northwest Indian College, Olympic College, Skagit Valley College, Whatcom Community College and Western Washington University.
The group, initiated by 草榴社区 President Bruce Shepard, meets quarterly to discuss how colleges can share resources and ideas, one of several ways the colleges are working together to become more efficient and enhance the impact of higher education in northwestern Washington.
