Achieving the Dream
TCC participates in the national Achieving the Dream initiative coordinated by the Lumina Foundation. It is a multi-year national initiative to help more community college students succeed. It is particularly focused on students who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education: low-income students and minority populations.
Here are the four components of Achieving the Dream and how TCC is addressing these components.
