Tompkins Cortland Community College

Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3), established in 1968, stands as a vital public institution dedicated to serving its community. From its beginnings, TC3 has been a cornerstone for accessible education in upstate New York, offering robust pathways to academic and career success for a diverse student body.

The college's history began in 1967 with its founding, quickly opening its doors in Groton, New York, by 1968. A significant move in 1974 brought the college to its picturesque Dryden campus, solidifying its presence and commitment to students in the region. This evolution culminated in a multimillion-dollar expansion completed in 2007, dramatically enhancing campus life and learning resources.

This strategic investment introduced a state-of-the-art athletics facility, a modern student center, and a significantly expanded library, all designed to enrich the student experience and provide robust resources for learning and personal growth. Under the leadership of President Amy Kremenek, TC3 continues its mission to foster an engaging environment where students can thrive, supported by excellent facilities that cater to both their academic pursuits and vibrant campus life.
