Texas has been declining compared to many other states and foreign nations in supplying an educated workforce needed to compete in a global economy. The 60x30TX plan, if successful, is expected to reverse Texas' decline and prevent a future of diminished incomes, opportunities, and resources. The present study evaluates steps a medium-sized community college in central Texas, one of Texas' education stakeholders, has taken to help Texas' 2030 population that will be aged 25 to 34 in the year 2030 to achieve the education attainment goals laid out in the 60x30TX plan. The study consisted of three research questions: First, to what extent did student attendance intentions change due to students attending the host institution? Second, to what extent did the interventions taken by the institution impact changes in student views on continued attendance? Third, to what extent did the COVID-19 pandemic's forced actions (switching to online courses, and cancellation of extracurricular activities) impact student changes in views on continued attendance? The research questions were based on a conceptual framework by Vincent Tinto identifying academic and social systems, combined with student characteristics and external commitments that affect institutional commitments and result in changes in student attendance intent. A survey of students that had been enrolled at the host institution was conducted during the 2020 summer session. The study found a 15% change in attendance intent and that two variables (compressed courses, and co-requisite developmental courses) had statistically but not practically significant relationships with the dependent variable (changes in attendance intent). The COVID-19 pandemic was not found to have either a practical or statistical effect on attendance intent. A discussion of potential reasons included the observation that many of the students that took part in the survey were summer enrollees who had not yet experienced the social and academic systems of the college. Due to the importance of getting more students to obtain higher education credentials, the need for further studies looking to understand changes in attendance intent remains. Specific recommended actions were provided to improve student success and lead to the better attainment of the 60x30TX strategic goals.
