The term “community college” was first used by
President Harry Truman in 1947 in a study he commissioned
on higher education. The idea of community colleges
appealed to the President, and his administration
began to put in place mechanisms to foster the
growth of such institutions around the country.

We swim in an ocean of media. Our thoughts, beliefs, life
choices, jobs, government, and shopping decisions are all
influenced by the media. Most of us complain about it, but we
wouldn’t turn the media off, even if we could. Yet we don’t
know much about it. Who decides what messages get sent?
What do the senders want? How do we process the messages?
How does the technology work? Your media exposure will
continue for the rest of your life. This class aims to make you
a more informed, critical consumer. (GR)
