In 2017, HCM Strategists reinvigorated the College Promise Coalition in Washington State in support of the Coalition’s #Pathto70 campaign.
OVERVIEW
The College Promise Coalition is a broad-based group advocating for increased higher education access and opportunity for Washington students.
About the Washington College Promise Coalition: The College Promise Coalition (CPC) is an unprecedented partnership that brings together dozens of organizations and individuals, including Washington’s public and private four- and two-year colleges and universities; students, families, faculty, alumni, education advocates, and leaders in business and labor. We work together to expand opportunities for education and training beyond high school so students can succeed regardless of their circumstances.
OUR WORK + IMPACT
Since 2017, HCM Strategists has provided advice and counsel to CPC leadership on policy, advocacy and communications strategy for the Coalition’s successful policy and advocacy framework in Washington to support implementation of strong pathways and student financial aid.
In addition to strategic counsel, HCM provides ongoing federal and state policy analysis and partners in public opinion research related to degree attainment and affordable higher ed access and workforce development initiatives.
CPC’s goal is to reach 70% of WA students earning a degree, apprenticeship, certificate or other credential after high school. Learn more: https://collegepromisewa.org/path-to-70-percent/
