Lumina Foundation Focus devotes issue to community colleges: The Winter 2006 edition of Lumina Foundation Focus magazine is devoted to community colleges and Achieving the Dream.  As Martha Lamkin, Lumina’s President and CEO, writes in her introduction: 

“This issue of Lumina Fundation Focus magazine explores a sector of American higher education that is vital and vibrant, yet continues to be misunderstood by many: the nation’s community colleges. In “Barrier busters,” noted education journalist Steve Giegerich takes a close look at two-year institutions, citing their important contributions and exploring in detail the challenges confronting these colleges –- and the millions of students they serve."
