| Abstract: | Since 1995, the Community College Futures Assembly has served as a national independent policy think tank for identifying critical issues facing community colleges and recognizing exemplary programs nationwide. Convening annually in January in Orlando, Florida, the assembly provides an interactive learning environment where tough questions are raised, critical issues are discussed, and policy implications are vetted. The focus for 2014 Community College Futures Assembly was the future direction of community colleges, highlighting decision makers’ views on the approaching challenges. This paper provides a brief analysis of the 2020 community college, focusing on several emerging themes including student centered learning, increasing competition, and the link between degrees and jobs. |
