Student Success Center

The Washington Student Success Center assists our community and technical college system to create a coherent, statewide framework to align and integrate various student success initiatives, grounded in developing student-centered colleges, clear educational pathways and broad-scale reform.

Washington’s Community and Technical Colleges have access to shared resources and professional development opportunities — to learn from and build on outstanding work at their neighboring and peer institutions, and support to scale effective practices statewide.

The Washington Student Success Center’s three priorities are: 

1. Increasing completion rates of all students.
2. Closing the equity gap for underrepresented, low-income, and first-generation students.
3. Offering professional development opportunities to colleges to do this work, as well as build greater capacity for systemic change leadership.
