Equitable Student Learning, Experience and Impact Office
We support students by creating the enabling conditions for colleges across the ÐÔ¸£±¦app to adapt, learn and transform policies and practices. We believe every investment, program and initiative is critical to realizing the development of empowered learners, strengthening career mobility for all students and generating unconditional belonging in every interaction. By deconstructing what historically has been known as academic affairs, student services, and workforce and economic development, we are shifting the focus to intentionally organize our work and impact around student outcomes and the student experience.

The Educational Services and Support Division is committed to students getting the high-quality curriculum, support and instructional services that they deserve.
Workforce and Economic Development

Institutional Supports and Success Office
We create the conditions — through advocacy, professional development, external engagement, resource allocations and fiscal resiliency — for ÐÔ¸£±¦app Community Colleges to thrive. This division’s work and implementation of statewide policies and programs will ensure all of our institutions truly work for students of all backgrounds, helping them succeed in reaching their educational goals so that as a ÐÔ¸£±¦app we close statewide opportunity gaps.

Innovation, Data, Evidence and Analytics Office
Through ÐÔ¸£±¦appwide data and technology solutions, we improve experiences and outcomes for students. We ensure secure and reliable technology, access to data and development of evidence-based reporting throughout the ÐÔ¸£±¦app Community Colleges. Our work helps power innovation and continuous improvement of programs so that all students can succeed in reaching their education and career goals.
