Community Colleges 'Natural Center '

MAYS LANDING - As the United States moves from an industrial to an information economy, community colleges will serve as the "natural center" for the training and education workers will need for the new jobs this transition will create. That was the message of the inaugural address delivered by Ronald W. Bush, new president of Atlantic Community College, at ceremonies at the college recently. Bush, fifth president in the 20-year history of ACC, addressed a group of 500 guests, including college faculty and staff, community and civic leaders, and delegates from more I than 40 colleges, univerI sides and learned societies I nationwide. I "AS WE ENTER the in-

of unskilled and semiskilled jobs is declining and the demand for people with skills requiring reading, writing, math and communicating skills is increasing. Our new occupations demand more skills found in traditional education and our citizens are lacking in those areas," Bush said. "I believe the natural center for this new training and education can be the community colleges," he continued. "Community colleges have the responsibility to equip the young and old with education skills needed to make them successful in the four-year colleges and universities as well as the new industries and government. Community colleges can respond with speed, flexibility and compassion. "MORE THAN ever before this college must be not only a community resource, but a community leader. It must be able to analyze current and future community needs and attempt to use its resources to match its resources with the requirements of society. The college is part of the fabric of our community and must become a major player in helping reshape the community for the 80s and the 90s. "

Bush, former vice chancellor at the Maricopa County Community College system in Phoenix, Ariz., joined ACC in July, succeeding Dr. Lawrence R. Winchell Jr., president of ACC since 1973. Under Bush's leadership the college has launched an effort to become the most technologically advanced community college i^he state and has annouJrced the establishment of the ACC Business and Human Resource Center, a facility which will address the i

; growing training and i development needs of » Atlantic and Cape May Counties' businesses and industries.
