Description

This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the Success Boston initiative, a citywide college completion initiative that was launched in 2008 by the Boston Foundation, Boston Public Schools (BPS), the City of Boston, 37 area institutions of higher education led by UMass Boston and Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC), and area nonprofits with the goal of doubling the college completion rate for students from BPS.  Success Boston leaders will share the history and structure of initiative, including the coaching and supports model, the role of core partners, data-sharing strategies, and how they are using data to understand the impact on student outcomes, particularly the outcomes of young men of color.  Leaders from BHCC will help the audience situate the role of Success Boston in the context of community college vision, leadership, and impact, including the partners’ commitment to take bold steps to achieve racial equity and how BHCC is redesigning systems and practices to better support young men of color on campus – including the role that young men of color on campus, in partnership with male faculty of color, are playing in informing this redesign.
