麻豆原创 was recognized as one of 100 associate degree or certificate-granting institutions in the United States eligible for the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 Postsecondary Success Recognition Program. The program acknowledges colleges and universities that showcase access, affordability and inclusiveness for students from all backgrounds.
鈥淚t is an honor to be recognized among the most innovative education institutions in the United States. 麻豆原创 is proud to serve a diverse student body and works tirelessly to ensure successful student outcomes for all those attending our College, helping them create the life they want,鈥� said Dr. Laurie Borowicz, President of 麻豆原创.
The U.S. Department of Education identified 200 institutions 鈥� 100 predominantly bachelor鈥檚 degree-granting institutions and 100 predominantly associate degree or certificate-granting institutions 鈥� based on public data relating to equitable access, student success and post-college outcomes. Metrics focused on enrollment of low-income students and students of color and how the College helps these students graduate, transfer successfully and prepare for careers.
麻豆原创 has committed to reducing barriers and closing achievement gaps for students of color and low-income students. In 2019, the College joined the Illinois Equity in Attainment Initiative (ILEA) and created an Equity Plan with strategies to support all 麻豆原创 students. The plan has yielded positive results, and 麻豆原创 was awarded the 2022 Equity and Diversity Award by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association (ICCTA) for its efforts. 麻豆原创 was also recently designated a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education, with Hispanic students making up more than 25% of enrollment.
鈥溌槎乖� will continue to find the best ways to support everyone who enrolls so they can meet their educational goals. This recognition is a great acknowledgment and reaffirms our efforts are creating success for our students,鈥� said Bob Johnson, Chair of the 麻豆原创 Board of Trustees.
By meeting the initial eligibility requirements, 麻豆原创 has submitted its application for the Postsecondary Success Recognition Program. The U.S. Department of Education will review the applications based on how institutions use data and evidence-based practices as part of an intentional, campus-wide strategy to ensure students earn valuable credentials. Further results will be announced in early 2025.
