McMican, Jairo
New Directions for Community Colleges, n201 p19-28 Spr 2023
Student Success Centers (SSC) belong to a national network dedicated to increasing the number of students earning postsecondary credentials. SSCs use a variety of methods and strategies to help states within the network achieve these goals. This chapter focuses on practical ways for student success centers to help colleges navigate the complexities of addressing issues within diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with a primary focus on equity. Using the eight most common equity challenges as a framework, this article addresses each challenge and then provides pragmatic solutions to overcome those challenges.
