Dutchess Community College - Francis U. and Mary F. Ritz Library

Dutchess Community College is situated on a beautiful, 130-acre campus in the Town of Poughkeepsie, just minutes from the Hudson River and Marist and Vassar colleges. With a proud 60-year history and more than 50 academic programs, the College is highly regarded for providing an outstanding education in an enriching, caring and supportive environment. Our faculty and staff are committed to student success and our affordable tuition (under $3,900 per year) offers students and families significant savings on the first two years of a college education.

Serving as the collective memory of the College, the Dr. Jerry Lee Archives are a depository for both official and unofficial college records documenting DCC's institutional history. It is the Archive's responsibility to preserve these records and make them available to the public.
