Pathways to College Network

AAC&U is a lead partner in the Pathways to College Network (Pathways), a network of organizations and foundations promoting college access and success at national, state, and local levels.

The mission of Pathways is to focus research-based knowledge and resources on improving college preparation, access, and success for under-served populations, including low-income, underrepresented minority, and first-generation students, as well as students with disabilities.

Pathways seeks to change perceptions, practices, and policies focused on academic preparation and college opportunity; eliminate barriers to college going; and make readiness a fundamental goal of education in the United States. AAC&U leads Pathways' working group on college persistence and achievement. As a lead partner, AAC&U:

• contributes to Pathways publications and to its comprehensive set of electronic resources;
• coordinates the work of the postsecondary education steering committee.
