Why is Degree Attainment Important?
![Page 6: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Attainment Rates by Ethnicity
Closing the attainment gap between first generation, low income and students of color will require “concerted and strategic efforts over many years”

CEOs For Cities: The Talent Dividend
• The Talent Dividend defined: Per capita income and college attainment rates are closely correlated.
• Using data from 2006, each additional percentage point improvement in aggregate adult four-year college attainment is associated with a $763 increase in annual per capita income.
• Detroit: If Detroit increased its college attainment rate from 26.4 to 27.4 percent, the region would capture at $3.4 billion Talent Dividend. That's 29,738 additional graduates.
• Grand Rapids: If Grand Rapids increased its college attainment rate from 25.9 to 26.9 percent, the region would capture a $559 million Talent Dividend. That's just 4,924 additional graduates.

The Impact of Increased College Completion on State and Federal Revenues
![Page 17: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ROI = Increasing • The financial return associated with additional years of
schooling beyond high school and the gaps in earnings by education level have increased over time. – 1998: College Degree = earnings are 60% higher than high
school diplomas (women), 54% (men) – 2008: College Degree = earning are 79% higher than high
school diplomas (women), 74 (men) • Tax Revenues: Governments enjoy increased tax
revenues from college graduates and spend less on income support programs, social support programs, and incarceration for them, providing a direct financial return from investments in postsecondary education.

![Page 32: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is an LCAN? • Community-based college access
coordinating body for college access strategy
• Highly structured collaborative effort, as opposed to isolated efforts of individual organizations
• Supported by an alliance of cross-sector leaders representing K-12, higher ed, nonprofit sector, government, business, and philanthropy
![Page 33: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Do LCANs Do? • Commit to building a college-going culture
in community • Create a strategic action framework
– Establish clear goals for the desired change – Execute proven interventions that can be
employed at scale to improve college access
![Page 34: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What do LCANs Do? • Roles:
– Provide overall strategic direction – Facilitate dialogue between partners – Manage data collection and analysis – Handle communications – Coordinate community outreach – Mobilize funding
![Page 35: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Measuring LCAN Success • Use a common set of measures to monitor progress
and learn what is and is not working. • Small but comprehensive set of indicators
establishes a common language the supports the action framework and aligns with goals.
• Create a Dashboard or Community Report Card with key metrics. For example:
• College Aspirations • ACT College Ready Benchmark • College Enrollment • FAFSA Completion • College Retention/Persistence • College Completion • Community Postsecondary Educational Attainment
![Page 37: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Infusing Collective Impact
In LCANs, cross-sector leaders share accountability for moving the needle on educational attainment by: • Creating a common agenda • Sharing data and a common set of metrics • Creating a collaborative action plan • Continuous communicate with partners and
community stakeholders • Commitment of a strong backbone infrastructure
![Page 38: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
LCANs: Network vs. Program • Coordinate all the assets, programs, services, and
resources currently in place that lower the barriers preventing students (particularly low-income and first-generation) from pursuing postsecondary educational opportunities
• Integrate MichiganCAP, KnowHow2GO, and other statewide college access initiatives at the community level among all service providers
• Increase effectiveness and efficiency of current assets • Correct areas of gap and areas of duplication • Leverage new resources to fill gaps
![Page 39: The Michigan College Access Strategy · Michigan College Access Network . Michigan College Access Network Mission: To dramatically increase the college participation and completion](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060313/5f0b617c7e708231d4303c9a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Benefits of the Network Approach
• Greater chance for creating lasting social
change • Allows communities to do more with less

For communities that don’t have an LCAN…
• Convene a taskforce of community leaders to
explore the possibility of establishing an LCAN • Invite MCAN Staff to facilitate the first meeting • Start a dialogue:
– Do community leaders agree that the need for large-scale reform is urgent?
– Is there a group of leaders who will serve as influential champions?
– Are there organizations who would be willing to commit financial resources?
