Transfer Student Support

Community College Transfer Support includes degree planning, campus tours, and a library of informational videos.

Community Development and Engagement

Coordinators convene partners on important issues to increase economic well-being and community vitality while advocating for communities who have historically been excluded and marginalized. Community projects include Grant County CyberMills, adult diploma or GED completion programs, and the Rural Communities Explorer, a team of data experts who also provide a repository of statewide data.
