"All young people who have the desire and commitment to earn a postsecondary degree should have a way to reach this goal. Innovating our way to better learning approaches for students—especially low-income students who face so many challenges as they advance their education—is simply good strategy. Figuring out the best way to do this is an imperative.”

- Gerardo de los Santos, League for Innovation in the Community College
