Amarillo College: No Excuses Poverty Initiative - Eradicating Student Poverty Barriers Hindering Academic Success
Amarillo College transformed its institution when it created a systemic approach to addressing poverty barriers for students. Our No Excuses Poverty Initiative is the connector between campus programs, services and projects designed to support students, boost graduation and transfer, and increase student persistence. AC’s Advocacy and Resource Center is the hub of our initiative. Growing from serving less than 1.5% of our student enrollment in 2012, the ARC assists 21% of our student enrollment in 2018. During academic year 2017/2018, the ARC assisted nearly 2,000 students in over 5,000 student visits. Even with this remarkable growth, AC continues to revolutionize our initiative by using data analytics and technology to drive social services connections before students even begin classes. By closing the loop before it can even open, AC is ensuring students can and will achieve academic success. We know that together we can overcome poverty barriers that prevent students from reaching their educational goals.
