This SSP model is based on intentionally designed,
clear and structured educational experiences, that
guide students from their point of entry to graduation,
transfer and career.
Understanding the student experience as a
continuum
The purpose of the Student Success Council (SSC) is to organize
the seven community colleges around a cohesive and unified
agenda to maximize and scale efforts for student success.
