American Association of Community Colleges launches Strategic Compass 2035
What happened
The American Association of Community Colleges is promoting its 1,015 community colleges by highlighting student success and the collective impact of these institutions nationwide. The organization released new resources, including a public service announcement and a Student Stories Bank, to showcase community colleges as engines of opportunity. This effort follows the announcement of Strategic Compass 2035 by DeRionne P. Pollard in April 2026.

Why it matters
The campaign aims to increase the profile of community colleges, which serve over 10 million students annually and account for about 40% of all U.S. undergraduates. This initiative addresses the fact that these institutions receive less focus and less funding compared to four-year institutions.
