Professor/Instructor/Speaker: Christopher Gray, Ph.D.

In September 2021 – amid the Covid-19 pandemic – the Erie County Community College opened (EC3) its doors and, most recently, in May 2025 graduated 135 students. Approximately 800 more students – from recent high-school grads, to dual enrollment students, to transfer and non-traditional students – are currently enrolled. What is EC3's mission, and how has the institution grown over the past four years? Where is it headed into the future? Join EC3 President Dr. Christopher Gray, as he discusses the impact of providing affordable access to innovative education and workforce training, offers updates on the accreditation process, and more.
