Dual enrollment has become a critical part of community college enrollment strategy, K-12 partnerships, and student success. As programs grow, how can colleges expand access while creating strong, equitable pathways to college and career success?

Join the League for Innovation in the Community College and Innovative Educators for a research-informed leadership conversation about the future of dual enrollment. John Fink of the Community College Research Center will introduce the Dual Enrollment Equity Pathways (DEEP) framework and share resources colleges can use to strengthen their programs. John will then join Kari Brown-Herbst, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs at Laramie County Community College, Lisa Aguilera Lawrenson, President of Delta College and Kate Mueller, Vice President of Student Services at Coastline College for a panel discussion exploring what dual enrollment growth looks like from different leadership perspectives. Together, they’ll discuss emerging opportunities and challenges, balancing access and quality, strengthening K-12 partnerships, and creating more intentional pathways that support students from high school through college.

Attendees will leave with research, practical resources, and leadership perspectives to inform dual enrollment strategy on their own campuses.
