Illuminating Innovations: Protecting Student Enrollment at California Community Colleges amid a Pandemic
Moore, Colleen; Reddy, Vikash
Campaign for College Opportunity
In March of 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic fundamentally altered almost all aspects of daily life as people around the world grappled with a public health emergency, as well as unprecedented economic and social consequences. COVID-19's impact on schools, colleges, and universities was far-reaching, forcing institutions to rethink their operations. The pandemic's impact on college enrollment in California was dramatic, but this impact affected students and campuses unevenly. This report provides a campus-by-campus analysis of enrollment changes from fall 2019 to fall 2021. In addition, the authors document the efforts and strategies employed by community college campuses where the loss of enrollment among Black and Latinx students over this period was kept to a minimum, in spite of nationwide and statewide trends. Through interviews with 26 education leaders across nine community colleges, the authors captured some of the strategies they put in place during the pandemic to support students enrolling and re-enrolling in college, successfully completing their coursework and making progress towards earning their degrees.
