Power Point Presentation    

Conference Description: This webcast is to provide an orientation to the Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count initiative for new colleges and also to supply the opportunity to have specific questions answered by the initiative's partners.

Achieving the Dream is a multiyear national initiative to help more community college students succeed. The initiative is particularly concerned about students groups that traditionally have faced the most significant barriers to success, including low-income students and students of color. Achieving the Dream emphasizes the use of data to drive change and focuses on measurable outcomes, especially closing achievement gaps.

The initiative includes 10 national partner organizations, 27 community colleges that joined the initiative in 2004, eight community colleges that joined the initiative in 2005 and many dedicated individuals. Lumina Foundation for Education provided funding for the initiative's startup and is providing ongoing funding for many of the participants colleges as well as other elements of work. KnowledgeWorks Foundation and Nellie Mae Education Foundation are providing additional funding to help support colleges that joined the initiative in 2005.
