Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (CLPCCD) and Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV signed an agreement to formally establish the Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV College Agile Network (Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV CAN) today.
Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV CAN is a partnership between the district and CSUEB to increase student-focused equity pathways. The innovative model aims to increase certificate and degree attainment for students for Chabot College, Las Positas College (LPC) and Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV.
Chabot College President Susan Sperling, LPC President Dyrell Foster, CLPCCD Chancellor Ronald Gerhard and Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV President Cathy Sandeen presided over the partnership celebration.
The research-based initiative officially began in Spring 2020.The partnership aims to increase transfer rates among the three Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV Hispanic Serving Institutions and increase degree completion and advanced equity for historically underserved students.
Currently, the three colleges use different systems to advise students on pathways to graduation, which can sometimes cause confusion or delays for students looking to transfer or complete programs.
Future phases of Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV CAN will include incorporating the research and findings from earlier work to design a model and implementation that ensures increases in educational continuity for students from all three campuses. The initiative seeks to ultimately identify and mitigate systems which reduce organizational barriers to college completion.
