Community colleges must figure out how to move forward in a time of upheaval. As they face enrollment declines, students’ greater needs, and pandemic-era learning loss, among other challenges, the mission of social mobility is more important than ever. How are community colleges remaking the paths to a postsecondary credential?
In the third of our four-part series Going Forward: The Higher Ed We Need Now, we will examine how community colleges are expanding outreach and prioritizing equity to serve today’s students.
Join co-hosts Michael Sorrell, president of Paul Quinn College, and Scott Carlson, senior writer at The Chronicle, as they convene an expert panel to answer:
- What opportunities and support do students from different populations find most valuable?
- How are colleges transforming partnerships with employers and industries?
- What changes in course delivery and the academic calendar benefit students?
- How can colleges make the most of federal relief funds and other investments in work-force training and student success?
