Hudson County Community College

PRIORITIZING STUDENT SUCCESS AND DIVERSITY Hudson County Community College remains steadfast in its focus on student success; and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As the college completes its 2021-24 strategic plan and begins planning for the next five years, these priorities will continue to guide efforts to enhance educational outcomes and support for all students. Dr. Reber outlines the college’s goals, emphasizing, “We want to continue moving the needle on student retention and reduce the time it takes for students to earn credentials and achieve their goals.” A vital component of this strategy is improving transfer rates, an area where HCCC has made significant strides through its partnerships with neighboring New Jersey City University (NJCU), Saint Peter’s University, and other institutions. Dr. Reber elaborates on a new partnership with NJCU: “We developed HCCC-NJCU CONNECT, a model based on national best practices that offers seamless transfer pathways for our students.” This SERVICES BASED IN NJ SERVING THE TRI-STATE AREA CLEANING CUSTODIAL JANITORIAL SERVICES MAVERICKBUILDINGSERVICES.COM 16 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 06
