Putting students first, by design.
We provide design, research, and strategy services to the California Community Colleges and system partners.
It’s great you’re looking at student input. At the end of the day, it’s the student that’ll be using and benefiting from it!
Why we're designing a better student experience
Over 2.1 million students attend the nation’s largest and most diverse system of higher education.
Our current and prospective students face unintended barriers applying to and advancing through community college.
We help the Chancellor’s Office and system partners identify, understand, and remove barriers to student enrollment, retention, and completion.
Together, we’re co-designing a better community college experience for everyone.
