(Monaca, PA) Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) recently announced its selection to participate in Cohort 4 of the Transfer Student Success Intensive, a prestigious initiative led by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program (Aspen) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) that is supported by the Ascendium Education Group. The Monaca school will be part of a year-long program that empowers colleges and universities to improve outcomes for transfer students through data-driven strategies, peer learning, and expert guidance. The cohort four will include ten teams of ten four-year institutions and thirteen community colleges, which represent ten different states. These new partners will work collaboratively over the next year to create transfer reform strategies that are sustainable and are tailored to their institutional and student needs.
