Hi, I’m Kathy Jackson I am the lady that has a smile and a big welcome to the greatest Community College in Colorado. I don’t just have a job, I have a mission. My job isn’t to just smile and say hello. My job is to help people who pass through our doors know how important their education is and that their goals are achievable. I have successfully earned an associate degree in General Studies and a Certificate in Computer Information Systems. I am a member of the national honor society and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in 2007. I also received the college’s coveted “Student Success Award.” |

Hi, I’m Valerie Sangiuliano As Assistant Registrar in Enrollment Services, you’ll meet me when you enroll or when you’re planning your graduation. I enjoy everything about CCA, and I know you will, too. I began my journey with Community College of Aurora as a student. I had high school teachers and counselors who didn’t expect much out of me and college was the last thing I was encouraged to do. I was introduced to CCA and fell in love with education. CCA helped me understand that I was college-ready and the staff and faculty helped me earn an associate degree. Soon after graduation, I was offered employment at the college and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to help others as CCA helped me. |

Hi, I’m Emelda Jones As a native of the Republic of South Africa, my position as CCA’s International/ESL Academic Advisor is particularly rewarding. Part of my daily responsibilities includes assisting prospective students with the I-20 application process and guiding them through the F-1 visa application process. Once the student arrives at Community College of Aurora, we map out a degree plan and keep in constant communication for the duration of the student’s stay at CCA. This constant communication includes helping students ensure that they comply with USCIS (U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services) regulations that pertain to F-1 visa status students. |
