College of Central Florida
The College of Central Florida (CF) is a public college with campuses in Marion, Citrus, and Levy counties in the U.S. state of Florida. It is part of the Florida College System and was founded in 1957 as Central Florida Junior College. CF has grown to span three counties and include the Appleton Museum of Art and Vintage Farm in Ocala.
The college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, Associate in Arts, and Associate in Science degrees as well as certificates. The college started offering bachelor's degree programs in 2010.
Central Florida Junior College was established in 1957 to serve Citrus, Levy and Marion counties in Florida. In 1958 classes began, with 320 students using temporary facilities at the Marion County Vocational School. The first president was Kenneth Williams. The Ocala campus was originally established on 60 acres (24 ha) of land donated by Atlantic Realty and Investment Company and the city of Ocala. It has since grown to 140 acres (57 ha). The first four structures were a science building, a health center, a library and the student center.
Howard Junior College originally opened in 1958 as one of the first black, two-year colleges in the state. Within a couple of years, it was renamed Hampton Junior College in honor of Lee Royal Hampton, the first black dentist in Marion County who was a champion of education. Their first president was William H. Jackson.
HJC and CFCJ merged in 1966. The school changed names again in 1971 to Central Florida Community College to reflect the goal of educating the community.
Retired Tallahassee Community College president Jim Hinson was asked by the Florida Department of Education to serve as interim president to help the struggling CFCC stabilize their finances. On May 25, 2010, CFCC officially changed its name to College of Central Florida. Charles "Chick" Dassance was college president.
James Henningsen is the college president and assumed the position in 2012.
In 1996, a free-standing campus opened on 88 acres (36 ha) in Lecanto. Over time, an additional 10 acres (4.0 ha) were added to the Wilton Simpson Citrus Campus, and the Citrus Learning and Conference Center opened in fall 2009.
