Houston Community College is one of 19 community colleges from five states chosen to participate in the first phase of the Initiative to Improve Student Success in Community Colleges.
Five foundations, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Lumina Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, are making a two-year, $14 million investment towards improving student success in community colleges.
All five foundations share a commitment to expanding college readiness and furthering student retention and graduation rates. The initial phase of the initiative will start with the development of two new mathematics pathways, the Statistics Pathway (Statway) and the Mathematical Literacy Pathway (Mathway). HCC will be instrumental in the planning of the Statway curriculum.
