This webinar will highlight statistics and trends regarding how community colleges have provided access to success over the past two decades.

Finally, ideas on how community colleges can use policies to better assist students as they pursue success will be presented.
1. Review statistics pertaining to community college students, including success rates, as measured by transfer, course completion, and other issues.
2. Identify millennial interventions. What are colleges doing to encourage success? (learning communities, student success courses, learning competencies, exit exams, capstone projects, community college baccalaureates).
3. Answer the question - Are the millennial interventions working? Discuss information on success rates and how well the programs are working.
