Cowley College Sumner County campus providing labor pool

Janet Grace, campus operations officer for the Cowley College Sumner campus, met with Sumner County Commissioners this week to apprise them of how the facility is doing, along with its training of a skilled labor pool.

“This is the first time a community college has crosses lines in Kansas,” third district Commissioner John Cooney said. He was referring to a community college in Cowley County, supported by Cowley County taxpayers, opening a facility in Sumner County.

Cowley College President Dennis Rittle and the Sumner County Economic Development Commission were instrumental in pushing for the Sumner County campus, Cooney said.
