历史

想法 evolved from LMC's partnership with California Tomorrow's Campus Change Network (CCN) during 2006-2008. CCN partnered with and supported community college leaders in strengthening, expanding and institutionalizing change efforts around issues of diversity, access and equity. The Campus Change Network convened and engaged 6-8 teams of community college faculty, administrators, staff and student leaders to discuss, share and learn from practices and models that have created fundamental campus reforms around access and equity.

During its partnership with CCN, 想法's analysis of college data such as student, faculty and staff characteristics, retention, success, persistence and goal achievement rates (degrees, certificate and 澳门威尼斯人网上赌场) determined areas in need of critical attention. The areas of concern focused on three points: (1) conditions of academic success amongst African American and Chicano/Latino students; (2)学生领导力和参与度； and (3) development of shared language amongst LMC professional community on the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Following the end of the partnership with CCN, 想法 was formally authorized as a sub-committee of the Shared 治理 Council.
