LAGUARDIA INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE3  \nBELIEVING IN THE POTENTIAL OF EVERY STUDENT:  \nA CASE STUDY ON LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE  \nIn 2023, the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) analyzed data from the  Equitable Value Explorer to identify institutions that equitably deliver postsecondary value to their students. LaGuardia Community College, a City University of New York (CUNY) institution, stood out as an exemplar. Situated in Queens, New York City’s most ethnically diverse borough, LaGuardia's mission is“to educate and graduate one of the most diverse student populations in the country to become critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who help to shape a rapidly evolving society.”1 As part of the nation’s largest urban public university system, LaGuardia plays an important role in opening the doors of opportunity to postsecondary education in its community and helping students and their families attain the better living and better life a college degree affords.  \nA Hispanic-serving institution, an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institution, and community college, LaGuardia enrolls substantial populations of Hispanic (44 percent), Asian (20 percent), and Black (17 percent) students.2 Additionally, 39 percent of students who attend LaGuardia receive federal Pell grants, a federal financial aid program designed to support students from low-income backgrounds.  \n2.5 YEARS $46,449  \nESTIMATED TIME MEDIAN EARNINGS  \nTO CREDENTIAL  \nHSI AND AANAPISI DESIGNATION  \nHISPANIC-SERVING INSTITUTION AND ASIAN AMERICAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER-SERVING INSTITUTION  \n1 CASE STUDY: LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE  \nLaGuardia has been recognized as an engine of economic mobility, successfully moving students from low-income backgrounds into the middle class and beyond by embracing their varied aspirations.4 Whether students seek to launch a career, upskill for advancement in their chosen field, or seamlessly transfer to a four-year university, LaGuardia tailors its offerings to fit their individual goals. This student-centered approach, coupled with a deep commitment to postsecondary value, has propelled LaGuardia to the forefront of the Equitable Value Movement--a growing movement in higher education to look beyond equitable access and completion towards ensuring students from all backgrounds receive postsecondary value.  \n“We have an obligation to students who entrusted us with their college and career education, to someone who’s giving us their hard-earned cash or their Pell Grant, and their time, energy, and commitment,” said LaGuardia President Kenneth Adams.“The spirit has to be, ‘everything [is] on the table to help you succeed; we’re not done until you get what you came for.’” Since joining the institution in 2020, President Adams and his team have built on former President Gail Mellow’s legacy by ensuring that institutional structures, investments, programs, and policies are designed and implemented in such a way that LaGuardia can help all students achieve their educational and professional goals.  \nThis case study delves into the innovative strategies  \nLaGuardia employs to deliver on its promise of value to students. From bridging the gap between nondegree programs and academic tracks to smoothing the transfer process to four-year institutions, institutional leaders proactively remove obstacles for students so they can chart their own unique paths to success.  \nFIGURE 2.
