“Our goal, our moon, must be a quality
bachelor’s degree for every Californian
willing and able to earn it – with

“That means the same opportunity to
succeed for every student. That is how
we empower the disenfranchised.
“That is how we achieve both

Within the options available in the TMCs relevant to your
field, which work best for your region?
Where does contextualized learning (with employers,
researchers, community partners) work best in your
discipline and region?
