Synergies: • Summer Bridge & ALP• ACE (Academy for College Excellence) with Transition Academy and College 101 curriculum
• Summer Bridge and Transition Academy• Common Core and Alignment of High School to College curriculum and faculty development
How are Synergies Created?• Relationships are created and built because of the Division structure
• Data Ranger Concept works to provide data and focus for division goals
• Leadership is devoted to a wide range of programs, services, faculty and staff who all share college readiness as their focus
The Challenges of Creating Synergies• Change agency is not always readily accepted
• Territorialism• Global budget needs• Time consuming• Navigating large college committee and operational
structure
