Texas Success Center

The Texas Success Center is proud to launch All In for Texas Success, a campaign that celebrates five years of Texas community college improvement. The campaign will highlight all 50 Texas community colleges and their work implementing Texas Pathways.

All In for Texas Success will run from February through August 2024. Each month will focus on a theme and show community college improvement through data, college profiles, and videos. We hope you will help us amplify this story by sharing the content in your own communications and outreach.


Theme of the Month: Connecting

Connecting. Community colleges are connecting with their students and getting them on pathways more efficiently. This outcome is the result of improving both internal connections essential for program mapping and external partnerships with K–12 and universities.

Entering. Improvements to onboarding — such as introducing corequisite support and helping students get program-relevant experience quickly — set students up for success.

Progressing. At Texas community colleges, advising is ongoing throughout the college experience, and academic supports prepare students for successful transfer.

Succeeding: College Success. All 50 community colleges made progress on seven early momentum metrics. These metrics demonstrate progress in areas correlated with higher long-term outcomes; they show progress in the initial steps that are essential for higher graduation rates.

Succeeding: Student Learning. Student learning, including applied learning, is the outcome that matters most.

What’s Next. Improvement efforts will continue with Talent Strong Texas Pathways, more emphasis on belonging and wellness, and building culture that helps students connect with their college.
