Community College Month is a month-long educational campaign coordinated by the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT). The primary goals of Community College Month are to improve awareness of the economic, academic, and equity advantages of attending community colleges. EICC is proud to be among the 1,000+ community colleges across the U.S. recognizing April as Community College Month. 
 
“Community College Month is the perfect time to celebrate all EICC has to offer,” said EICC Director of Continuing Education and Professional Development, Paula Arends. “It’s our way of thanking the community for their support, and introduce them to the many great continuing education courses we have available. There’s truly something for everyone."
 
New this year, the college has collaborated with Sweet Tooth Snacks to create a custom popcorn flavor called “THE Community’s MIX.” The popcorn is a delicious blend of melted chocolate, drizzled over freshly-popped kettle corn and chocolate candy pieces. Bags will be sold all month long at select campus locations and Sweet Tooth Snacks' storefront, 3012 E. 53rd St. in Davenport, IA.
 
With every bag sold, a portion of the proceeds will go to the college’s Emergency Student Assistance Fund. The fund supports students who encounter an unforeseen financial emergency or catastrophic event which would otherwise prevent them from continuing their education at EICC.
