History
Anoka Technical College is a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
The campus is located in the City of Anoka and partially rests on the eastern border of the City of Ramsey. The building is largely the superstructure of the old Cargill plant. Periodic investments over time have transformed the building into a state-of-the-art technical college.
Dr. Jessica Stumpf has been serving as interim president of Anoka-Ramsey Community College since 2010. Beginning July 2011, Anoka Technical College and Anoka-Ramsey Community College, which has campuses in Coon Rapids and Cambridge, are aligned under one president to better serve students in the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities.
With the state of the present economy favoring short-term technical education, and some realignment of admissions services, the college is currently experiencing the highest volume of newly enrolled students in 15 years.

—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
