ACC has released its inaugural State of the College Report, highlighting new efforts to support students and improve access to education. Key updates include:
- Workforce training expansion in high-demand fields like semiconductor manufacturing and city planning.
- Increased student support services for food, housing, and mental health.
- Transfer pathways, including the Bats to Cats program, make it easier to transition to four-year schools.
At the core of these efforts is ACC’s Theory of Change, a framework aimed at increasing the student completion rate from 46% to 70% by 2030. It focuses on four pillars for change: helping students start strong, encouraging full-time enrollment, supporting students’ basic needs, and fostering belonging.
ACC aims to guide students through completion, whether through a certificate, associate degree, bachelor’s degree, or transfer.
