ATD Invitation

“Nearly one-half of all students seeking higher education choose a community college. Fewer than half of those students actually finish what they start.”

The College is now a participating member of the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network (ATD), a national organization comprising more than 200 higher education institutions, plus coaches, advisers, investors, and partners. Since 2004, the initiative has been helping more than four million community college students, particularly low-income students and students of color, improve their chances to complete a degree.

“Our selection speaks volumes about the urgency and creativity with which we have been approaching the challenges of student achievement,” says President DeRionne Pollard. “We look forward to working closely with the coaches from ATD and improving our processes.”
