NCII’s hosted the fifth California Guided Pathways 2.0 institute in Oakland in September 2023, convening the 37 participating colleges for a deep-dive on ways to foster an institution-wide commitment to scaled guided pathways implementation for more equitable student outcomes. Cross-functional teams of classified staff, faculty, administrators, and union representation received both relevant inspiration and practical applications from peers in the state and across the nation. Topics ranged from ensuring everyone knows the role they play in supporting students’ success, to advancing a culture of caring across the institution, to rethinking business processes to optimize the student experience, to considering the contributions of back of the house support functions (i.e., IT, facilities, HR, research) to successful guided pathways development.
