They address the often unconscious barriers to access our institutions have erected and describe emerging strategies, frameworks, and pilot projects that can ease studentsâ transition into college and through the maze of the college experience to completion. They offer advice on organizational culture, on defining institutional outcomes, on aligning shifting demographics with the multiple missions of the community college, on strengthening the collaboration of student and academic affairs to leverage their respective roles and resources, and on engaging with the opportunities afforded by technology. Divided into three parts â understanding todayâs community college campuses; supporting todayâs community college learners; and specialized populations and communities â this book offers a vision and solutions that should inform the work of faculty, administrators, presidents, and board members.
