Stacy Ybarra, CTN Director of Student Engagement, published her research in an article titled “Progress Scaling Texas Pathways: Pillar Three” on the Texas Association of Community Colleges, Texas Success Center’s website. The article reported the scale of implementation of Pillar 3 practices, examples of college practices, and recommendations for continued progress.

“The third pillar of the Texas Pathways strategy outlines the essential practices necessary to keep students progressing on their program pathways. Colleges are innovative in the ways in which they support students on their paths. Advising and student support is occurring during outreach, onboarding, registration periods, in-semesters, between-semesters, and with advisors, coaches, program coordinators, faculty, and mentors.” (https://tacc.org/)
