| Annotation: | President Barack Obama has challenged community colleges to
educate an additional 5 million students with degrees, certificates, or other credentials by 2020. As state funding for education and other revenue sources continue to decline, now more than ever, there is a need to formulate innovative strategies to support this ambitious goal.
In response to the president’s education agenda, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) is leading
advancement of the next era of community college evolution
through its two-phase 21st-Century Initiative. Phase 1, the
