"Students don't operate in the silos that we do," @EloyOakley said. "We are institution-centric ... We need to take this opportunity to take a step back to look at the student journey and look at the data on how we can improve that journey." @CalCommColleges #HigherEd #CVHigherEd

t started a decade ago. It started with a mission – more Americans earning more degrees. That mission launched a movement, growing from a handful of change agents to an Alliance of 19 leading states. Now, this 46-member strong national network represents thousands of impatient reformers across the country focused on student success, tested reforms and measurable results. A completion nation.
Ten years after the birth of Complete College America, the mission remains. And the reforms are working. The needle is moving, but there is more to do. There are populations that are being left behind and equity gaps that persist. It will take a collective effort to close them.
CCA is more firmly focused on the future than ever and on the next ten years of impact. That means doubling down on what works and forging ahead with comprehensive structural change. It means intentionally searching the field for new game-changing ideas and greater innovation and advocating for stronger policy to help drive these efforts. CCA has never worked alone, and it’s clearer than ever before that the completion crisis can only be solved together.
So, join the movement. Join the completion nation.

Guided Pathways is driving transformation on college campuses throughout the nation and campus structures, like registration, college websites, student services, etc. are all being re-imagined. For true campus transformation to be complete, we not only need to re-imagine our campus policies and structures, but we also need to examine what happens INSIDE the classroom.
The focus of this conference is to help college faculty embrace the challenge of providing a high-quality education for ALL students in ALL disciplines on ALL campuses by closely examining what we do in the classroom. In her keynote address, Dr. Barkley, will discuss her framework on how we can better ENGAGE students and will be providing faculty with strategies and techniques that we can immediately apply in our classrooms. Following the keynote address, we will have a set of breakout sessions (topics to be announced early December) followed by a lightning round, raffle prizes, and a closing session.
In partnership with Columbia College, a one-day active learning conference will be held mid-spring. More information will be provided at ALC2020.
Breakfast, lunch, refreshments, networking opportunities, and great teaching strategies are included with the registration fee. Please complete your registration and pay fees using the links below.

Advocacy Starts at the Annual
Legislative Conference, January 26-27, 2020
Annually, the Community College League of California’s Legislative Conference kicks-off the advocacy season as California Community College leaders come together to discuss important policy issues and engage with members of the State Legislature. We invite you to join us in advocating for our 2.1 million students on January 26-27, 2020.
The Annual Legislative Conference is held in conjunction with the Effective Trusteeship and Board Chair Workshops, January 24-26, 2020. Separate registration is required.
Annual Legislative Conference
January 26-27, 2020
The Annual Legislative Conference is offered to all California community college CEOs, trustees, faculty, staff, and partner organizations interested in advocating for higher education. This year’s conference will cover some of the most pressing policy issues of the moment. The Annual Legislative Conference also provides attendees with the opportunity to shape statewide policies and advocacy agendas.
Here is a preview of some of the sessions, you won’t want to miss:
Federal Higher Education Policy
Now, more than ever before, decisions made in Washington D.C. affect the success of our students and college operations. Join our national representatives in a discussion of higher education policies and proposals to modify the federal influence over education.
The Unspoken Effect of Tax Credits on Education Funding
Over the past decade, while California suffered the Great Recession, California’s community college districts and schools lost over $66 billion through two suspensions of Proposition 98 and overall reductions in education funding. During this same time period, California spent over $65 billion in tax credits to merely the top ten tax credits. Discuss how the state’s largest tax credits may not be meeting their intended goals, their impact on the state’s general fund and the damage done to our institutions by a reduction of education funding by 40 cents on the dollar.
The Quest for Affordable Student Housing
The League’s Affordability, Food, & Housing Access Taskforce was formed to create ideas, best practices, and solutions that address students’ basic needs insecurity. Join a real discussion of the costs and benefits of student housing compare to other policy alternatives intended to address housing insecurity. Hear the innovative approaches colleges are exploring to connect students with affordable housing.
