Continuous improvement for student success! 🏛️✨ With the explosive growth of dual credit across the district and especially at Northwest Vista College, our NVC team recently joined sister colleges — Palo Alto College, St. Philip's College, San Antonio College, and Northeast Lakeview College — and our Alamo Colleges High School Programs team, for a collaborative working session with representatives from the Center for Community College Student Engagement at UT Austin. Together, we explored data from the Dual Enrollment Survey of Student Engagement to evaluate program effectiveness, refine college pathways, and make sure we are listening carefully to what our dual credit students say about their experiences so we can provide a high-quality education across our campuses. 🚀🎓 #DualCredit #StudentSuccess #AlamoColleges #HigherEdPartnerships #DESSE
