CUMU Conference 2018

Governors State University in partnership with 17 Chicagoland community colleges has developed an illuminated pathway for students from community college matriculation to university graduation. Now in its 7th year, the program has exceeded expectations, with over 85% of cc transfers to GSU having graduated or on track to graduate. With the support of a Kresge dissemination grant, GSU is engaged in national facilitation of similar partnerships with provision for a planning institute in June 2019. The mini-workshop will be part of the year-long process of assisting universities and community colleges to form viable partnerships beyond articulation agreements--something that is harder to do than it might initially seem.
