We believe in the power of data to drive meaningful change. When we partnered with Lehigh Carbon Community College, we were determined to understand the root causes behind student stopouts to help craft tailored solutions. LCCC's Initial Challenge: ▪️Enrollment declines, intensified by the pandemic. ▪️Economic barriers, particularly among disadvantaged learners and students of color. ▪️The complexities of financial strains, job losses, and limited resources. ▪️Balancing work, family, and education. Our Joint Vision: Together with LCCC, we aimed to not only boost overall enrollment but also offer flexible learning options that resonate with adult learners' unique needs and challenges. By understanding these core reasons, we've been able to help LCCC tailor their strategies, ensuring that their solutions directly address the challenges their students face. Data is more than numbers; it's a roadmap to change. Our collaboration with LCCC showcases how data-driven insights can transform student engagement and success. #ReUpEducation #HigherEducation #DataDriven #LCCC #StudentSuccess
