We seek to help colleges reform outdated ways of working to better ensure student success in the 21st century. We also support colleges with an explicit focus on serving underrepresented students – such as minority-serving institutions, community colleges and public universities – carry out their missions and better help students succeed.

Colleges and universities are the most critical part of the path to earning a degree or high-quality credential. Yet many institutional practices make it difficult for students, especially those attending college for the first time, to succeed. Students may experience lackluster or nonexistent advising, face confusing pathways to degrees, struggle to transfer courses from one campus to another, or be forced to take ineffective developmental courses that bear no credits or derail students’ paths to completion. These and other institutional barriers have made successful, on-time graduation the exception to the rule rather than the norm. We work with colleges and universities to reform these outdated ways of working to better ensure student success in the 21st century.
