@doutor_aurelio Looking forward to connecting at #IL2022Summit! There is something powerful about coming together in community and sharing what we are learning to improve the lives of students! #PCCChat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@DrAnthonyRamos @partnershipfcc Amen to the "How" the work gets done! It's also how an institution can see itself as equity-minded, equity-centered, equity embedded in the culture and fabric! #PCCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@doutor_aurelio @NationalLouisU This is a great example of a targeted strategy! Providing students with a Coach who provides support is so critical to student success! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@Lili_Castille Yup, loved the team-based approach too! This work must be viewed holistically and be intentional. Focusing on momentum in the first-year is so important (not just what happens in the classroom but the wrap-around supports too)! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@DrAnthonyRamos @partnershipfcc @ElginCommColl Supporting identity based student orgs is so critical! It also aligns with thinking about the assets students bring to their educational journeys! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@doutor_aurelio @NationalLouisU That's awesome! These are the kind of organizational and structural changes that prioritize equity efforts and send a message to students that the institution CARES! #PCCchat

@partnershipfcc A2: Many ILEA schools have taken a critical look at hiring practices and on-boarding for faculty and staff. Others have revised their FYE, academic advising and outreach efforts to support students. #PCCchat

@Lili_Castille Welcome Aurelio! Your #s speak to why we have to think about WHO we are serving and build structures and strategies to support today's students. Thanks for all you do at NLU! #PCCchat

@pernevlonjr @partnershipfcc Welcome Dean Ellis! Thanks for all your work at Kish to make a difference in the classroom! Creating inclusive pedagogy is fundamental to a student feeling a sense of belonging and can enhance learning! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@DrAnthonyRamos @partnershipfcc Good to see you Anthony!

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@partnershipfcc A1: Our ILEA institutions were able to publish Equity Plans at the start of the pandemic and now with addl lessons learned are tweaking and changing them to ensure equitable outcomes. #PCCchat

@partnershipfcc So awesome Anthony! And, your precious Mom by your side! Love this! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@partnershipfcc A3 Many students did not get to celebrate their precious milestone! I hope students who did not get a ceremony still carry warm thoughts about their college experience and have had doors of opportunity opened to them by earning a college degree! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@AnthonyMRamos29 @partnershipfcc @thisisUIC @ElginCommColl How have we not ever shared our love of Kelly McCray before? What an awesome champion for students! Proud to have worked w/him at UIC! #PCCchat

[Paula J Hanley @PJHanley20]

@partnershipfcc A2 When someone is in your corner, it makes the impossible seem possible! From choosing a major, to searching for a job, knowing you have support makes it so much easier! And, the smiles on faculty and staff faces at graduation says it all too! #PCCchat
