Earlier this month WICHE launched the Adult College Completion Network site, as part of a nationwide effort to unite organizations and agencies working to increase college completion by adults with prior college credits but no degree. The new website is part of the WICHE’s Adult College Completion (ACC) Network, a collaborative learning network funded by Lumina Foundation for Education. Visitors to the site can find news about how institutions are successfully serving adult students and share information about their own efforts. The site’s Project Warehouse contains a wealth of current information about projects and programs at institutions and agencies across the country that are working to remove the policy and practice barriers that can prevent these adults from returning to school to complete their credential or earn their degree. As part of the site, WICHE is also launching an email discussion listserv (accnetwork@listserv.wiche.edu) that will connect policymakers, practitioners, and others working to promote and improve adult college completion. Anyone working to improve adult college completion by targeting and serving adults with prior college credits and no degree can join the ACC Network and subscribe to the listserv.
