Broward College, beforehand known as the "Lesser College of Broward County" and "Broward Community College," is a state school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is a piece of the Florida College System. It was set up in 1959 as a feature of a move to widen Florida's two-year junior college framework. In 2008 it embraced its present name, mirroring that it is one of the schools assigned a "state school", which means it can offer four-year four year college educations. In 2012, Broward College was named one of the main 10 percent of junior colleges in the country by the Washington D.C.- based Aspen Institute.
The foundation was established in 1959 as the Junior College of Broward County (JCBC). It opened its entryways the next year under the authority of President Joe B. Hurrying, with a staff of 28 serving a class of 701 understudies. Until the school's first lasting structures were finished in 1963, understudies went to classes in the previous Naval Air Station Junior High structures on the western edge of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Subsequent to helping JCBC through its developmental years and onto firm balance, Rushing in 1965 reported he was coming back to his home condition of Texas to wind up establishing president of Tarrant County Community College in Fort Worth. He was trailed by Dr. Myron Blee, and after that in 1968, A. Hugh Adams, director of state funded training in Charlotte County, Florida, was delegated president and served in that part until 1986.
