The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) is working toward the establishment of its Research and Policy arm, dedicated to informing academic development practices through equity-minded and culturally affirming frameworks. CCCP contributes to scholarship focused on transfer issues, ultimately fostering transfer-sending and transfer-receptive cultures. By leveraging the leadership and success of  peer mentors, scholars, and alumni, along with the collaborative efforts of staff and faculty at universities and community colleges, CCCP aims to drive meaningful change in higher education.

Literature

Power to the Transfer: Critical Race Theory and a Transfer Receptive Culture (perspectives on Access, Equity, and Diversifying Pathways in P-20 Education)

By Dimpal Jain, Assistant Professor of Education at CSUN and former CCCP staff member; Santiago N. Bernal Melendez, CCCP Assistant Director; and Alfred R. Herrera, former CCCP Director.

“This book aims to provide direction toward the development and maintenance of a transfer receptive culture, which is defined as an institutional commitment by a university to support transfer students of color. A transfer receptive culture explicitly acknowledges the roles of race and racism in the vertical transfer process from a community college to a university and unapologetically centers transfer as a form of equity in the higher education pipeline.”
