This action guide begins with a brief overview of Student Support (Re)defined, the “six success factors” that served as a framework for this student perspectives research, and a high-level discussion of what makes this study different from other explorations of support. The guide then outlines how community college leaders--formal and informal--can use this study to aid campus-based change efforts. It articulates a three-phased process for engaging in a dialog about the study’s findings, exploring their meaning in a local context, and determining what action to take to advance student support on campus. It concludes with a series of resources, activities, and tools to assist readers in enacting this process at their own institution.
