Office of the President

Welcome to Butler Community College!

Whether you are a first-time student, returning learner, or future Grizzly exploring your options, I want you to know you belong here. At Butler, we are committed to your success, and everything we do, from the classroom to campus life to community partnerships, is designed with you in mind.

As the new President of Butler, I believe our path forward is rooted in three guiding beliefs.

People are our greatest asset. That includes you, your classmates, your faculty, our dedicated staff, and the many individuals who support Butler behind the scenes. From our Board of Trustees, who help shape our vision, to community members and partners who invest in our mission, Butler’s strength comes from the people who believe in the power of education to transform lives.

Culture is our foundation. It is a culture that values respect, inclusion, growth, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Numbers bring focus to our vision. We believe in setting bold goals, tracking what matters, and continuously improving so that you receive the best possible experience.

We stand proudly on Butler’s timeless institutional values: Quality, Integrity, Service, and Caring. These are more than words. They shape how we teach, how we lead, and how we show up for our students every day. At Butler, we do not just educate. We empower. We do not just enroll. We engage.

No matter where you are headed, your future starts here with personalized learning, innovative programs, and a dedicated community behind you. Whether you are earning a degree, learning a trade, transferring to a university, or enhancing your skills, Butler is here to support your goals and help you thrive.

I invite you to explore all we offer and, more importantly, to imagine all you can become.

Welcome to the Grizzly family!

Warmly,
Dr. Tamara Daniel
