About the amplification lab
The Complete College America (CCA) Amplification Lab elevates the voices and stories from the leaders, practitioners, elected officials, and impatient reformers across the CCA Alliance. The Amplification Lab provides a platform for CCA Alliance members to share how they are implementing the policies, perspectives, and practices from our Pillars of Transformation and how students, including historically underserved students, are seeing the benefits of their strategies.
