Despite the negative stereotypes still overshadowing community colleges,scores of freshmen nationwide are deliberately beginning their college careersat these institutions, and the numbers are increasing more than twice as fastas those of four-year schools. Approximately 300,000 of these students takeintroductory astronomy each year as the last formal exposure to science most ofthem will ever have, and at least one-third of these students do so at acommunity or two-year college. The importance of investing in and devotingresources and training to serve this population - everyone, demographicallyspeaking - cannot be overstated. Yet the overwhelming majority of those who doserve this population are lacking in both areas. The community colleges' heavyemphasis on teaching and student success creates both challenges andopportunities that educators must meet head-on using a variety of methods andinnovative strategies, teamwork and faculty support systems, and cleverworkarounds.
