The California Community Colleges are forging a clear path forward, centered on equity, innovation, and student success. Discover how your institution can align with this vision by joining Ellucian for an insightful, 1-hour webinar. We’ll demonstrate how cutting-edge, real-time planning and degree audit tools, such as Smart Plan and Award, are empowering California Community Colleges to significantly boost completion rates, effectively re-engage “stop-out” students, and decisively close stubborn equity gaps.

You’ll also hear directly from Rosenda Minella, AVP of Enrollment at Central New Mexico Community College, as she shares firsthand how these transformative tools are revolutionizing student outcomes on her campus.
