Equal access and opportunities to education are the foundation of a just and equitable society. Attainment of a college degree or valuable credential enhances one’s quality of life. There is a compelling sense of urgency to increase college enrollment, retention and graduation for students of color in Michigan and achieving this objective requires collective impact.
As an inclusive organization, the Michigan College Access Network recognizes the importance of closing college attainment gaps as our state aspires to reach its big goal of 60% college attainment by 2025.
Accordingly, MCAN is committed to infusing and imbedding diversity into its comprehensive college access strategy. Only in this way can Michigan be assured of the educated, competitive and diverse work force requisite for our state’s economic resurgence and long term vitality.
