We were in New Mexico last week, visiting two Complete College America Accelerator campuses, Central New Mexico Community College and The University of New Mexico. The Accelerator is part of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Intermediaries for Scale initiative, and members of the Foundation's Postsecondary Success Team joined us on the campuses during their annual leadership retreat, also taking place in New Mexico. We were grateful to share the incredible work happening at these two institutions and at the nearly 100 Accelerator institutions across the country. #CCADoesTheWork #HigherEducation #StudentSuccess
