How Has Community College Changed Your Life?

The White House is asking current and former students, educators and administrators to tell their stories.

As part of the White House Summit on Community Colleges, current and former students, educators and administrators are being asked "How Has Community College Changed Your Life?" If you have a story you would like to submit, visit this website.

On October 5, Dr. Jill Biden will chair the first-ever White House Summit on Community Colleges. President Obama asked Dr. Biden to convene this event to highlight the critical role that community colleges play in developing America’s workforce and reaching our educational goals.

The summit is an opportunity to bring together community colleges, business, philanthropy, federal and state policy leaders, and students to discuss how community colleges can help meet the job training and education needs of the nation’s evolving workforce, as well as the critical role these institutions play in achieving the President’s goal to lead the world with the highest proportion of college graduates by 2020.
