initiative resulted from a collaborative project with the Aspen Institute and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). “We now have up to 40 transfer pathways between Hudson and NJCU, ensuring that every credit a student earns at Hudson transfers directly to their aligned baccalaureate degree at NJCU, which can be earned with successful completion of no more than 120 total credits,” he explains. Dr. Reber also highlights the benefits of the University Center in the new Center for Student Success, which is currently under construction. “This Center will provide classroom and advising spaces for four-year institutions to offer junior- and senior-level courses on our campus,” he explains. This setup will allow students to complete their baccalaureate programs in a familiar environment, further easing the transfer process. By cementing strong partnerships and creating innovative support structures, Hudson County Community College is making higher education more accessible and effective for its diverse student body. Dr. Reber concludes, “Our students love this institution and often say, ‘Hudson is Home!,’ which has become the college’s tagline. We aim to make their journey from Hudson to a four-year degree as seamless and supportive as possible.” 103 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 06 HUDSON COUNTY COMMUNI TY COLLEGE
