Are You Future Ready?

Complete College America has shaped the future for more than a decade. Alongside our national Alliance and partner network, we’ve advanced bold ideas and strategies that have urged the postsecondary sector towards greater impact. We’ve supported future-ready leaders building future-ready institutions that prepare today’s students for whatever their future might hold.

This year, our work takes on deeper meaning as we confront – in the words of Dr. King – “the fierce urgency of now.”

In December 2023, we went to Las Vegas for our most ambitious annual convening to date. We dived into the biggest opportunities and challenges in our field. We heard from trailblazers and iconoclasts at colleges across the country who inspired and equipped us for the work ahead.

Across engaging sessions and roll-up-your-sleeves workshops, we left with a clear-eyed vision for leading systems change wherever you are.

The Stan Jones Legacy Award

Complete College America’s Stan Jones Legacy Award is given to those who have consistently embodied the vision of CCA and its founder. Stan Jones founded Complete College America in 2009 and was president for eight years, growing the organization and the CCA Alliance to become a leading voice in college attainment and completion, before his passing in 2017. The recipients of the Stan Jones Legacy Award have worked toward achieving the goals of increasing the number of students who earn credentials of value and have become a model for other institutions, individuals, and/or states to follow in their college attainment work.

Congratulations to our 2023 Stan Jones Legacy Award recipient, Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education!
