PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The purpose of education has always been to increase the knowledge and skills of those who consider themselves to be willing and engaged students. As knowledge, skill and experience expand so do the doors of opportunity. At the Cleveland School of Cannabis, we recognize the international trends of a diminishing workforce and simultaneously understand the need to increase the supply of qualified, well-educated, and well-experienced workers. We proudly stand at the forefront of the next level of innovation in Ohio education. As this nation embarks on a journey to find its way into a budding new industry, we hold firm that we will produce the most successfully trained and qualified employees.

To our students, who have taken the first step in their future, Congratulations! On behalf of the faculty and staff of CSC, I would like to warmly welcome you and whole-heartedly applaud your desire to innovate, learn, and lead. Together, we are going to pave the way for the economic growth that will surely come within our city, our state, and our country. Be prepared for your next opportunity. Lead On.

Tyrone Russell CSC, President
