AQIP Action Projects

Active Action Projects

Achieving the Dream, Dual Enrollment and the Master Plan have been selected as the new Action Projects for the coming year. 

Achieving the Dream is a national effort dedicated to helping community college students, particularly low-income students and students of color, stay in school and earn a college certificate or degree. Since 2004, the Indianapolis-based non-profit has worked with over 200 colleges in 32 states and the District of Columbia.

Dual Enrollment.  The college currently supports a small number of dual enrollment offerings in area high schools, but the structure, requirements and costs of the programs vary greatly.  This project will chart a redesign of the program infrastructure and position resources accordingly to meet growing demand.

The Master Plan,  This project builds on last year's initial groundwork. Phases III and IV will lead to a composite College Master Plan, integrating all of the major planning issues and providing design direction for the future development of the College.
