چکیده
Although student support services are critically important for promoting better academic outcomes for students, many community colleges struggle to integrate these services with academic instruction. This summary describes a number of strategies developed to bridge the gap between student support services, particularly counseling and advising functions, and academic instruction in community colleges. These strategies were developed as part of the Student Support Partnership Integrating Resources and Education (SSPIRE) initiative, which aimed to increase the success of young, low-income, and academically underprepared California community college students by helping community colleges find innovative ways to strengthen their support services and better align these services with academic instruction.
