[The network] will help institutions collect data on where the gaps are and where there are opportunities for more support.
Ashley Bliss Lima, an associate director in JFF’s Learning Unit, was quoted in a University Business article about JFF partnering with the Hope Center to lead an initiative whose priorities include making sure struggling community college students know what types of support services are available to them.
Among other things, the network of more than 50 community colleges created as part of the effort “will help institutions collect data on where the gaps are and where there are opportunities for more support,” she says. “It will help institutions connect the dots to when academic performance declines.”
