We are back together! Thank you to Red Rocks Community College for hosting our Community Colleges for Democracy affinity network planning retreat last week. We convened a wonderful group of people from all over the country representing districts, large and small, urban and rural community colleges to begin building a collective agenda for community college civic engagement. It is the role of community colleges–rooted in place–to enable all people to fully participate in the economy, in society, and in democracy. We are energized and ready to take advantage of this moment. Look out for more information coming about new resources, communities, and initiatives under way.
