Evaluation of the Community College Transfer Initiative

 

NERCHE is partnering with Brandeis University’s Center for Youth and Communities at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, on a five-year project funded by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation to evaluate the Community College Transfer Initiative: Improving Access for Community College Transfers to Selective Four-Year Schools (CCTI). The Foundation is providing funding to eight campuses—Amherst College, Bucknell University, Cornell University, Mount Holyoke College, University of California Berkeley, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and the University of Southern California—that have formed partnerships with community colleges to facilitate the transfer of low- to moderate-income community college transfer students to their campuses. NERCHE’s Senior Program and Research Associate Sharon Singleton is working with the Heller School’s Senior Research Associate Cathy Burack, Senior Research Associate Susan Lanspery, and Research Associate Ginger Fitzhugh from Brandeis on the evaluation.
