Achieving the Dream Teams Are Off & Running

All colleges are in the process of developing a four-year plan, with broad engagement from the campus and external communities and commitment from top leadership, for 1) improving student outcomes based on evidence about barriers to success and effective practices and policies; 2) institutionalizing a process for continuously improving student outcomes based on evidence.  If you would like to know more about each campus’s Core and Data Teams and each college’s overall focus for their Achieving the Dream efforts, click here.
