No one educator, department, institution, or state can solve them. Without a simultaneous and intersectional approach, those barriers will continue to rob all of us—educators, advocates, and students alike—of the life-changing beneİts of a complete college journey.  \nComplete College America (CCA) builds movements for scaled change and transforms institutions. Since its founding in 2009, CCA has paired bold, innovative thinking with practical actions that colleges and policymakers can implement across every level of higher education. CCA’s work centers on researching and testing education reforms, providing coaching and support, and advocating for change. Across these areas, CCA uses data to identify barriers and design successful strategies; aligns policy, perspective, and practice so complex systems operate eīectively; connects experts to amplify their insights; and builds shared accountability. The organization is at the center of the broad CCA Alliance, which is driving change that works for every leader, every campus, and every system.  \nThis publication is copyrighted by Complete College America.

Critics are questioning the economic value of earning a degree, arguing that rising costs and stagnant wages make the payoī of a postsecondary education lower than it had been for previous generations. Add to this chorus the challenges brought on by a global pandemic, the politicization of higher education, and shifts in expectations around workplace norms, and you might be tempted to think that “going to college” has lost the clarity of purpose it once had.  \nSo, what does a vision for college look like in 2025—and beyond?  \nAt Complete College America, we believe postsecondary education empowers students to discover and realize their own purpose. Since our İrst report on the role of purpose in student success, we have deepened our conviction that a clear sense of purpose is a necessary precursor to a student deriving value from their college experience. This conviction is shared by a growing number of institutional leaders, faculty, and staī who are doing more to help students clearly deİne how their college experien","cbCaijpJjIQQffqM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijpJjIQQffqM","pdf",1986113,56,"English","# Foreword\n# I.
