Futures Institute

Mapping a New Direction

In August 2015, 24 ACC faculty, staff, and students were selected to explore how the college might structure its programs and services into “guided pathways” to help more students finish college on time, prepared for employment, career advancement, or university transfer.

In addition to researching the guided pathways model, these Futures Institute members visited other leading institutions and gathered input from the college community, Campus Advisory Committees, and other ACC partners.
