Abstract: For decades, the Center for Community College Student Engagement (CCCSE) has shown that connections are central to student success. When students in focus groups are asked if they ever considered dropping out, many say "yes." When asked why they stayed in college, most students name an individual who made a difference. New data from CCCSE show that these individual connections, while vital, may not be enough. Students need multiple types of support that are provided systemically, intentionally, and consistently throughout their college experience. Students who report that their college provides this rich fabric of support--this culture of caring--have higher levels of engagement and success. Data from the 2024 Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) illustrate the elements and impacts of a culture of caring.
