“It's exciting to see enrollment bouncing back to — and even beyond — pre-pandemic levels. It’s a real credit to the high-quality education and hands-on training our students get at both Anoka Tech and Anoka-Ramsey,” President Kent Hanson says, “With strong completion rates and a supportive community, our colleges continue to be a place where people come to build bright futures.”
Persevering from Enrollment to Completion

Six decades in, the colleges continue their vital work providing extraordinary, affordable and accessible education.
“We all come here for a reason to better ourselves, to get better jobs and grow and learn. I think that’s important,” President Hanson says.
