Year of Inception : The initial intake in the 2006/07 year was comprised of 40 students-a blend of first-year students and working professionals. By the year's end, 21 students had dropped out due to a lack of English language and mathematics competency. For a startup, self-financed institution, a greater than 50%
dropout rate was a significant challenge. However, with the shareholders' commitment and financial support, the founding Board of Trustees and the College President were inspired to continue with the project of establishing a new, top-quality academic institution that would prioritize academic rigor and education. The Board of
Trustees added two new priorities to the initial strategic plan: 1) student success and retention; and 2) resource optimization. By the end of AY 2007/08, the college developed the slogan "Nothing is impossible" to inspire students to thrive and overcome all challenges in academic and professional endeavors, as well as to motivate the
college's faculty members and staff to work effectively and efficiently in the face of inevitable early obstacles.
