Abstract:
|
What do you do when you know you need to make a change in college attainment in your state? You make changes on how you help students by way of a targeted approach to improve outcomes. It's frustrating when your organization is working feverishly to impact students' lives, yet you don't see the results you were expecting from your efforts. College Success Arizona, Maricopa County Community College District, with the help of the Helios Education Foundation, have found that joining together sometimes creates a greater impact than going at it alone. Together, these organizations have found a way to mobilize their expertise to tackle low retention rates among the most underrepresented student populations in Arizona. |
