This crosswalk tool helps colleges align student engagement data with key reform priorities outlined in CCRC’s More Essential Than Ever: Community College Pathways to Educational and Career Success.
By bringing together SENSE, CCSSE, and DESSE, the tool enables institutions to:
- Examine the student experience across the full lifecycle—from entry through completion
- Identify gaps between early experiences and later outcomes
- Align institutional practices with guided pathways and student success efforts
- Support structured, cross-functional conversations grounded in student voice
Organized around five reform frontiers—including career alignment, teaching and learning, onboarding, completion, and dual enrollment—this resource is designed for planning, facilitation, and continuous improvement.
Best for: Institutional research, student success teams, academic leadership, and cross-functional planning groups
Format: Facilitation-ready crosswalk with aligned survey items, discussion prompts, and planning guidance
