Achieving the Dream

Achieving the Dream – Community Colleges Count is a multi-year, national initiative to improve student success, particularly among students of color and low-income students. A cornerstone of the initiative is broad engagement of faculty, staff, students and the community.

Having completed our initial planning year, we have accomplished much:

  1. Purposefully talking and listening to faculty, staff, and students to learn about what improvements are needed.
  2. Putting our data under a microscope, asking ourselves challenging questions and identifying which students need the most assistance.
  3. Integrating the college’s work to improve diversity, equity and inclusion with its mission to improve student success. More»

We have sharpened our focus for the next four years, in which we will work to:

  1. Improve academic advising throughout the college;
  2. Strengthen new student programs to bolster college and life skills;
  3. Refine developmental education and support structures; and
  4. Create a campus culture of positive interpersonal relationships.
