“Education is transformational. It changes lives. That is why people

work so hard to become educated and why education has always been the

key to the American Dream, the force that erases arbitrary divisions of race

and class and culture and unlocks every person's innate potential.”

(Dr. Condoleezza Rice)

• 71% of the public believes that it is sometimes better to start at a community college than at a 4-year college (Associated Press, 2010).

• Students who start at a community college are just as likely to earn a bachelor’s degree after transferring to a 4-year college as are students who start at a 4-year institution (American Association of Community Colleges [AACC], 2009).

• The majority of community college students who transfer to four-year institutions perform as well as or better than the students who started at the four-year school (American Association of Community Colleges).

• Community colleges enrolled 41% of all undergraduate students living in

poverty in 2007–2008; approximately 1 in 5 community colleges students lived

in poverty that year (AACC, 2010).

• 22% of community college students have family incomes of $100,000 (NCES,

2011a).

• Between 1989–1990 and 2009–2010, the number of students of color walking

across the stage at graduation has increased at a greater pace than has the

pace of those walking through the front door and enrolling (Mullin, 2011) .
