The story
Area Ten Community College opened in several locations in Cedar Rapids in 1966, serving an enrollment of 199 students. In 1969, the college officially changed its name to Kirkwood Community College, after Samuel J. Kirkwood, an early abolitionist and Iowa's American Civil War Governor.
In 2018, the college named Dr. Lori Sundberg as the school's fifth president and the first woman to hold the position. The student enrollment during the 2018-2019 year was 16,781, with an average class size of 21, and 330 international students from 100 countries.
