We launched the K. Patricia Cross Academy exactly one year ago today! Since then, we've had over 12k visitors to the site.

Do not allow politicians to use data like this to downsize your college or your programs.
Don’t lay off your faculty- empower them to help you grow. Support them to improve retention rates— I bet you lose tons of federal and state dollars right now as students drop out.
