The ARCC Network brings together research teams from across the United States to explore strategies community colleges can use to bring back students who left during the COVID-19 pandemic, support their learning, and ensure they can succeed in the rapidly evolving post-pandemic economy.

In addition to national research on enrollment and transfer trends and pandemic recovery spending, the ARCC Network is conducting surveys of community colleges and studies of pandemic recovery strategies in eight states.
