Defining College
As C3, when we say college we mean a lot of things. College is more than a two or four-year degree.
Common Agenda
C3 members share a vision for change. This vision includes a common understanding of the issues facing Ottumwa and an agreed upon strategy.
Data Dashboard
To measure success, C3 has performance indicators that allow the community to know the impact of these actions.
What is Cradle-College-Career?
Cradle-College-Career (or C3) is a Local College Access Network or LCAN.
Michigan College Access Network defines a Local College Access Network as a “community-based college access alliance supported by a team of community and education leaders. These coalitions are committed to building a college-going culture and dramatically increasing college readiness, participation, and completion rates within their community. LCANs coordinate and expand programs, services, and resources that lower barriers preventing students from pursuing postsecondary education opportunities”.
