For decades community colleges have served as an alternative higher education option for students, yet not always are these perceptions framed positively by the media and influential forces. On this episode of Spotlight on Community Colleges, we feature a conversation featuring two guests who help us make sense of the various ways the American public frames and views these institutions: Dr. Chauncy Lennon (Vice President for Learning and Work and Senior Strategy Advisor at the Lumina Foundation) and Sophie Nguyen (Senior Policy Manager of New America's higher education team).

 

Join Spotlight on Community Colleges the third Wednesday of every month to hear topical exchanges between researchers and practitioners, learn about emerging scholarship paired with practical solutions, and consider critical analyses of possibilities for future practice.
