Join us for a phone briefing releasing a new report:

Divided We Fail Report logo

October 27th, 2010   |   10:30am - 11:30am

For Call-In information, Please RSVP Here

On October 27th, The Campaign for College Opportunity will host a conference call that will focus on the release of a new report that details the urgent need to improve student outcomes, particularly for black and Latino students, at California Community Colleges. 

Because California’s community colleges play such an important role in producing college graduates in the state, including preparing students to transfer to a four-year university, it is vital that students are achieving the goals they have when they start college. This report tracks more than a quarter of a million students who entered a California Community College during 2003-04, analyzes their progress and outcomes over six years by major racial/ethnic populations.  The study highlights the urgent need to improve student outcomes in our community colleges, particularly for Blacks and Latinos and makes recommendations as to how this data can be used to improve state and system policies aimed at better student success rates.

Divided We Fail was produced by the Institute for Higher Education Leadership & Policy (IHELP) at California State University, Sacramento for The Campaign for College Opportunity and will be co-released in coordination with the 15 organizations shown below.

The call will feature the following confirmed panelists who will present the report findings and recommendations and share their responses:       

- Michele Siqueiros, Executive Director, The Campaign for College Opportunity
- Nancy Shulock, Executive Director, IHELP
- Colleen Moore, Research Specialist, IHELP
- Eloy Ortiz Oakley, President, Long Beach City College

For Call-In Information Please RSVP Here

We hope you can join us for this fruitful discussion on the state of completion rates in California Community Colleges so that together we can ensure more students are able to achieve their goals and successfully join the workforce in the future! If you have questions, please contact Stephanie Romero-Crockett at step...@collegecampaign.org or call 213-817-6034.
