Beyond Academic Assistance: Key Findings on Wraparound Services at Community Colleges
Abstract: A student's ability to succeed in higher education often hinges on factors outside of the classroom. Not unlike other educational institutions, community colleges work to address barriers to success through a variety of support services, commonly referred to as "wraparound services." These supports can, for example, offer career services, provide student parents with child care, help students who work navigate an unexpected loss of income, and ensure that off-campus students have reliable transportation to get to class.
