The Center for Community College Student Engagement invites emerging and established researchers to become members of our Research Affiliate program.
The two primary goals of this program are to advance research on community college student experiences by increasing access to the largest data set of its kind and to enhance the visibility of affiliates’ research on community colleges and community college students.

Sample copies of the CCSSE survey and the standard additional item sets can be found on the CCSSE website.
