Stay connected with Region III on social media.

Region III is a small but mighty region consisting of schools in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. The Regional Leadership Team organizes regular meetings for intentional conversations and programming that cater to the needs of our members. Despite the geographic distance between our institutions, Region III extends its support to community colleges, two-year institutions, and four-year institutions in rural, urban, and online communities. Our primary focus is promoting the professional growth and development of students, professionals, and institutions throughout our region!
