Transparency, Storytelling, and Value Literacy Project

For the 2024-2025 academic year, ACCJC is advancing its 2030 Strategic Goals by working closely with colleges on Transparency, Storytelling, and Value Literacy. ACCJC believes that clearly sharing institutional outcomes required in our Eligibility Requirements and Accreditation Standards (graduation, persistence, retention, transfer), along with consumer-based social mobility outcomes in transparent public-facing dashboards and websites, can help to refine campus efforts and increase transparency for students, parents, and the public. Perhaps as important, we believe that this work can highlight the positive impact of our institutions’ high-value programs and offerings.  

ACCJC President Mac Powell, ACCJC Vice Presidents, and thought leaders within our field will engage with college practitioners on these topics at a series of seven grant-sponsored convenings scheduled in geographically dispersed locations to allow for maximum participation from member institutions. We invite college administrators, faculty, staff, and trustees to participate in the conversations. Space can accommodate up to five attendees from each member institution at a designated regional convening. We are happy to announce there will be no charge, and the cost of attendance will be subsidized (details below).   

Thanks to the generous support of College Futures Foundation (California Public Community Colleges) and an internal grant from ACCJC (all other ACCJC member institutions), the Commission is able to reimburse a limited number of participants. The grants provide for: 

  1. up to $250 per individual for under 100 miles of travel and up to $500 for over 100 miles of travel for up to five people per member institution in Arizona, California, and Hawaiʻi. Only actual costs will be reimbursed. 
  2. up to $1000 per individual for up to five people per member institution from American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Marshall Islands, New York, and Palau. Only actual costs will be reimbursed. 

It is our hope to have five attendees from each institution, representing administrators, faculty, staff, and trustees interested in engaging in this work. Invitations with registration information will be sent to member institution ALOs, CEOs, Chancellors, and Board of Trustee Presidents ahead of each convening, so institutions can coordinate who they would like to have attend. For now, please save the dates!
