Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn released his 2012 Proposed Budget in a classroom at Seattle Central Community College, as he discussed the central role our colleges play in the City's future through the education and retraining of members of our workforce and community. 

Seattle Central Community College student Camille Donahue began the event with her story of returning to school after being laid-off.  Seattle Central Community College President Paul Killpatrick and Seattle Community Colleges Chancellor Jill Wakefield discussed the importance of the colleges as an engine for our local economy and in helping to get members of our community into - or back into - the workforce.  

Thank you to the City of Seattle for the photo of Mayor McGinn and Chancellor Jill Wakefield on our home page.
