Community College Times: Using Technology to Improve Access, Success

Sandra DeCastro, general manager of client and association programs for SunGard Higher Education and chair of AACC’s Corporate Council, published a commentary in Community College Times. It reads, “Community colleges are at the forefront of providing workers with the training necessary to lead the new economy. The nation is watching how two-year colleges assume the additional responsibility of ensuring more Americans have a postsecondary degree at a time when the economy is recovering slowly and resources are dwindling.

Through innovative programs, colleges are improving student access to higher education and enhancing the learning process.” DeCastro then gave examples of innovative approaches undertaken at three community colleges.
