Excited to see the first phase of the PCC reorganization launch with the first team of newly appointed Academic and Student Affairs leaders dedicated to advancing equitable student success and opportunity for all PCC students! @AchieveTheDream
PCC’s YESS (Yes to Equitable Student Success) team is in the house (38 strong) at ATD in MD, hearing inspirational messages from DREAM Scholars (CC students from across the country) and bringing back great ideas to improve equitable student success! @AchieveTheDream

PCC and PPS building on our strategic partnerships in order to scale and streamline college access and completion. Thank you Supt. Guerrero for a great meeting!
Thanks to our colleagues at Hillsboro, Beaverton, Vernonia, Scappose and Portland School Districts for getting the PCC K-12 Council off to a great start and thanks to Stand For Children for your facilitation! OMIC and Chris Holden were great hosts as well :)
Got off the press! @AchieveTheDream’s lessons from our Working Student Success Network offers tools for aligning institutional and state policies to support low income student success. Sharing with colleagues @jfftweets #JFFpostsecondary network meeting.
Associate degrees boost earnings by 10–11% over college non-completers; licenses boost earnings by 9–20%. But the combination results in an earnings gain of 11–31%, says new CCRC research. Bottom line: Either a degree or license is good; both are better. https://t.co/SKSYSzFCFa
I stand with educational leaders and others in our community and across the nation who recognize family separation as a barrier to educational success. Together, as educators, I support the continued efforts to ensure reunification of immigrant children with their families.
Great to reunite with @achievethedream Dream Scholar @KienTruongPCC at #ATDKickoff. He put the student voice at the center of the redesign of the student experience. I predict he will be a #comm_college president! @PortlandCC
