The Board's Role in Student Success
Throughout much of their history, the primary focus of Community Colleges was providing access. Today, Community Colleges and the Board of Trustees, are challenged to rethink and redesign the academic experience with a new focus on promoting student success.

Discussion will include Student Success Strategic Action Plans, National Student Success Programs, Equity Mindedness, Student Showcasing, and the ROLE OF TRUSTEES IN STUDENT SUCCESS.
