NCCC may target older students to boost college’s enrollment - CHRIS KNIGHT, Lake Placid News

North Country Community College wants to attract more older, continuing education students to help boost its sagging enrollment. College President Steve Tyrell said Tuesday that the decline in enrollment, brought on by a drop-off in the population of high school students in the North Country, has led to significant budget cuts for the college. The college's proposed 2014-15 budget, presented recently to Essex and Franklin counties, includes a projected loss of more than $500,000 in tuition and fees. The college has campuses in Saranac Lake, Malone and Ticonderoga. http://www.lakeplacidnews.com/page/content.detail/id/521758/NCCC-may-target-older-students-to-boost-college-s-enrollment.html?nav=5005
