Summary View help for Summary
The Community College Academic and Student Support Ecosystems (CCASSE) project, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) [LG-96-18-0198-18], examines how academic and student support services at not-for-profit associate-degree granting colleges are organized, funded, and staffed, and how these services can most effectively advance student success. Researchers surveyed chief academic and student affairs officers at colleges across the United States on success measures, services offered, resource challenges and constraints, and vision for future service provision. They investigated current structure and organization of services, challenges senior administrators face, and their anticipated changes to service provision in the future.

Study Design View help for Study Design
In spring 2019, researchers surveyed 249 chief academic and student affairs officers at community colleges across the United States. Contact information for the sample was hand-gathered anew. This process entailed creating a list of applicable colleges and locating the contact information for the individual via their college's website, or by calling the college directly. After iterating with project advisors on survey instrument drafts, the survey was pre-tested in order to ensure that it was understood consistently and clearly across respondents. Six in-depth cognitive interviews were conducted in March 2019 with senior administrators within the survey population. The survey was fielded between April and June 2019.
