Empowering Students to Navigate College: Insights from the College Fluency Initiatives at Austin Community College. College Fluency Capacity Building Case Study Series

ITHAKA S+R
College fluency can help students successfully engage with and self-advocate within the culture and bureaucracy of higher education institutions to achieve their goals. To further examine and develop effective strategies to foster college fluency, the Borough of Manhattan Community College Library (BMCC) and Ithaka S+R partnered on the College Fluency Capacity Building initiative with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Looking specifically at the development of college fluency services in community colleges across the US, this initiative takes a deep dive into the nuances of programming aimed at increasing librarians' own college fluency and that of their students. The third case study in this series looks at how Austin Community College in Texas has been developing college fluency programs with both their library and non-library faculty and staff. The college libraries play a critical role in promoting college fluency across 11 campuses. Other non-library initiatives at this college that also contribute to supporting students to navigate college underscore just how much of a college-wide effort it takes to promote greater college fluency.
