SAVE THE DATE: MCCA's 2026 Student Success Summit theme, Advancing Outcomes Across Every Role and Every Office, underscores student success as a shared responsibility, with each office and role contributing to support students from entry through completion and beyond. The summit will highlight collaboration across campus including sessions focused on strengthening alignment and expanding clear pathways for students. Participants will explore practical strategies, build cross-functional connections and advance shared goals.

This preview session introduces fellows to the focus of Convening 2, including improving labor market outcomes and strengthening transfer pathways. Fellows will review expectations, prepare for engagement with guest speakers, and reflect on how this work connects to their institutional context.
