Inhaltsangabe

While community colleges give financially disadvantaged students a chance to open the door to education, simply walking through that door is not enough. Once there, many students feel completely alone on their journey. In Community College Success, Isa Adney shares secrets for connecting with others that helped her win a $110,000 Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarship. This is the first book to combine a youthful and accessible author with networking strategies specifically targeted to first generation and community college students. Community College Success gives historically under-represented students the strategic and motivational tools they need to be their own advocates and achieve their education and their dreams.
