Organizing Support for Success: Community College Academic and Student Support Ecosystems: Phase III, United States, 2019

The Community College Academic and Student Support Ecosystems (CCASSE) project, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) [LG-96-18-0198-18], examines how academic and student support services at not-for-profit associate-degree granting colleges are organized, funded, and staffed, and how these services can most effectively advance student success. Researchers surveyed chief academic and student affairs officers at colleges across the United States on success measures, services offered, resource challenges and constraints, and vision for future service provision. They investigated current structure and organization of services, challenges senior administrators face, and their anticipated changes to service provision in the future.
