As higher education institutions across Colorado continue to address the impact of COVID19 on enrollment and identify practices that promote student success and institutional sustainability, many are focusing their attention on the enrollment of adult learners. The Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) has actively engaged in building awareness and understanding of the demographic changes impacting postsecondary attainment. In doing so, CDHE aligned its attainment practices for adults 25 to 64 with Lumina Foundation's Path Toward Equity Tool, which seeks to reach 66% completion nationally by 2025. However, despite having the second highest attainment rate in the country amongst adults 25-64, alarming racial and ethnic disparities continue to exist amongst Coloradoans who identify as African American/Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Hispanic/Latinx in comparison to their White counterparts. These gaps cannot be solved in isolation or by one institution type. However, community colleges can be one of the solutions to higher attainment rates and equity gaps. The open access mission and commitment to the social and economic mobility of underserved and underrepresented student populations such as racially minoritized adults ages 25-64 make community colleges a smart choice for students to further their education and/or workforce development. Nevertheless, in order to be a solution, various considerations need to be addressed. This brief provides an overview of the legislature and equity efforts and present recommendations for community colleges to apply equity-minded practices in closing the attainment gap amongst racially diverse students.
