Abstract | COVID-19 has exacerbated existing equity gaps and made college persistence even more difficult for students with less access to resources and opportunities than their White or wealthier peers. Altogether, these challenges require organizations to establish new approaches to engaging college students and monitoring their academic progress and emotional well-being. The experiences of organizations that have successfully transitioned to supporting students in college and throughout the pandemic offer valuable lessons to others. The National College Attainment Network (NCAN) recently documented the work of five organizations to expand their college access programs to support students through college completion. A series of three papers describes their experiences with (1) building the capacity to offer college success services; (2) tracking and using data to measure their impact on student persistence; and (3) developing effective partnerships with higher education institutions. The papers draw from information gathered through interviews with 17 organization staff members and 20 students who benefited from their support. This paper summarizes the experiences of these organizations with expanding to support college students, the challenges they faced, and recommendations for undertaking similar efforts. The paper also discusses the unexpected challenges students faced as a result of the pandemic and how organizations adjusted their services to support students during this difficult time.
