With our enrollment of 24,000 students, our single-campus college in downtown Dayton, Ohio, is among the largest community college campuses in America. Our remarkable faculty, staff and students exhibit quality as evidenced by frequent national and state awards. We are also proud to be members of the League for Innovation in the Community College.
As a comprehensive community college, Sinclair offers a variety of important services:
- University transfer classes and programs (like art, humanities and sciences)
- Direct-to-work career programs (like health and engineering)
- Custom training classes for business workers
- A full-service conference and banquet center
- Expert consulting and assistance to numerous community initiatives
Last year, Sinclair faculty and staff directly served over 110,000 individuals in college courses, training sessions and conference center events.
Sinclair Community College is named after David A. Sinclair. Mr. Sinclair was the late 1800s Director of the Dayton, Ohio YMCA. He was an immigrant to Dayton from the coastal North Highlands of Scotland and founder of the adult training school that has become the world-class Sinclair Community College.
Also from David Sinclair, we have our college motto:
"Find the Need and Endeavor to Meet It."
Each day we take this charge very seriously. If you have educational or community service need that we can meet, please do not hesitate to email me at president@sinclair.edu.
Sincerely,
Steven Lee Johnson, Ph.D.
President
Sinclair Community College
