For much of the twentieth century, the definition of success for most community colleges revolved around student retention and graduation. This definition no longer works—if it ever did. In Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works? respected community college leaders, researchers, and innovators argue that student success is about redesigning community colleges in a manner that is consistent with each college’s mission, goals, student population, and resources. Concluding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to increasing student success, chapter authors analyze national, state, and regional efforts to increase student success; identify principles institutions can use to frame student success initiatives; and outline specific actions community colleges can take to increase student—and institutional—success. Student Success in the Community College: What Really Works? also provides concrete examples of effective student success initiatives in a variety of community college settings.

O’Banion and Culp, both experts in the field of student affairs, have assembled this collection highlighting the multidimensional requirements for ensuring student success. Chapters provide a holistic view, as authors provide a multitude of evidence to show that it takes the entire organization’s mission and culture to ensure student success. Contemporary critical topics, such as technology integration, data use and privacy, and social inequities, are considered throughout the text, rather than addressed in a singular chapter dedicated to these issues…[demonstrating] that they are not check marks on the student success journey, but rather integral components of any college initiative. Those studying higher education or involved in student success initiatives within their college will find the book helpful in conceptualization. Although a few chapters are deep dives into unique case studies, most include references to other case studies that will provide the groundwork for practical application. Recommended.
