Clarendon College has joined Amarillo College and Frank Phillips College in forming a partnership that is unique in the state of Texas and is aimed at making students’ lives easier.
The presidents from each college – Dr. Phil Shirley of CC, Dr. Paul Matney of AC, and Dr. Jud Hicks of FPC –signed a Memorandum of Understanding last Wednesday in Amarillo launching the partnership.
The three colleges will begin instituting policies that ease and improve transferability between the institutions; align programs and program offerings; and provide greater overall options for students.
Representatives from each school met later the same day to begin the process of working together to benefit students and will meet again in January to continue the process.
“I think this is a huge leap forward,” Clarendon College President Phil Shirley said. “Anytime that you can come together and agree that the student is number one, you have put yourself in a position to help the student the most.”
Dates are also being scheduled in the early spring for each school’s representatives to visit the other colleges in order to be better informed about each college’s programs and course offerings.
