The 112 California Community Colleges are highly independent. In pursuit of academic goals, and over the course of their lives, California Community College students may attend several colleges (sometimes attending 2-3 colleges at the same time to get enough classes). This “swirling” and “come-and-go” behavior creates significant student identity challenges.
Patrick Perry will discuss these challenges and how the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) is tackling this problem to facilitate research for systemic and institution improvement. In addition, with mandates from the legislature, CCCCO is tasked to implement technology for student success, and a common student identity across the largest system of higher ed is the “secret sauce” in making it all work.
