Founded in 1950, Jamestown Community College, was the first community college in the State University of New York.

JCC has remained committed to the humanities and liberal arts while expanding to meet the social imperatives of vocational education and community service. The threefold purpose of the college is to serve those students desiring transfer programs, provide technical and career programs for those who wish to seek employment immediately after graduation, and offer the community the opportunity to pursue part-time study for improvement of job skills and cultural enrichment. 

The college seeks to provide expanding services to the community in keeping with the State University of New York motto: To Learn ... To Search ... To Serve. 

President: Dr. Gregory DeCinque
