Leadership and Advocacy for Community College Student Success

Catalog description

This course provides students with an understanding of the demographics of today’s community college students. The course recognizes the role that community colleges play in providing access to higher education, particularly for traditionally marginalized student groups and explores best practices and national initiatives promoting community college success. Topics include community college student demographics and unique populations (e.g. commuter students and dual enrollment students), student engagement and integration, and inclusive campuses for traditionally marginalized students. Success is also considered in light of trauma-informed practice for community college faculty and staff. The course addresses the unique assessment and accountability for social justice that are necessary for the enactment of inclusive campuses.
