<p><span>For much of the twentieth century, the definition of success for most community colleges revolved around student retention and graduation. This definition no longer works—if it ever did. In </span><span>Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works?</span><span> respected community college leaders, researchers, and innovators argue that student success is about redesigning community colleges in a manner that is consistent with each college’s mission, goals, student population, and resources. Concluding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to increasing student success, chapter authors analyze national, state, and regional efforts to increase student success; identify principles institutions can use to frame student success initiatives; and outline specific actions community colleges can take to increase student—and institutional—success. </span><span>Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works?</span><span> also provides concrete examples of effective student success initiatives in a variety of community college settings.</span></p>
