ATLANTA J UNIOR COLLEGE 1630 STEWART AVENUE, S.W. ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30310 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear AJC Family Members, It is my pleasure to, again, bring greetings to you through the pages of Genesis, our college yearbook. The Genesis staff has chosen as its theme for this issue, New Horizon: Where Do We Go From Here? It was only a year or so ago that we celebrated our Tenth Anniversary and used the theme, A Decade of Progress: The Tradition Grows. At that time, we asked you to join in embracing those traditions that have helped us to move forward, and to boldly rid ourselves of those barriers that have tended to impede our progress. We might add, at this point, that we must rid ourselves of those barriers that have tended to imped our progress toward academic excellence! Indeed, where do we go from here to achieve our goals? Members of the Genesis staff have interviewed several administrative and staff and staff are dedicated professionals, so I am not surprised that whatever their comments might be, all are directed t oward establishing goals and strategies for the College that are designed to assist students in as many ways as possible toward achieving academic excellence. Toward this end, I am pleased to announce that the College has completed the establishment and organization of the Atlanta Junior College Foundation whose initial commitment is toward raising substantial funds for student academic scholarships. Moreover, we have increased our efforts toward offering outreach programs to the community we serve. In the months and years ahead, we expect Atlanta Junior College to continue to gain community-wide acceptance as an institution attuned to the needs of the greater Atlanta community and one which offers its share of academic and cultural programs designed to meet those needs. As we look toward the future, let us not have to continue to ask Where Do We Go From Here? Rather, let us be able to say that We Have Met The Challenge and we will continue to be a viable institution in the community of higher education. My congratulations to the entire AJC Family for meeting all challenges that are presented as we continue to strive toward academic excellence . Sincerely, E. A. Thompson President EAT 1 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION INSTITUTION
