Achieving the Dream has named Everett Community College as a Leader College of Distinction for the second time, recognizing the college for sustained and significant outcomes in the advancement of student success and for narrowing equity gaps. EvCC is one of only 32 community and technical colleges nationwide to earn the honor. The college is one of two Leader Colleges of Distinction in Washington state. The other is Pierce College, the former home of EvCC’s incoming interim president, Darrell L. Cain. “I chose Everett Community College because students’ success is at the core of EvCC instruction, programs and services. I am excited to lead a college with a demonstrated commitment to excellence and equity,” Cain said. Achieving the Dream is a national nonprofit dedicated to helping more community college students, particularly low-income students and students of color, stay in school and earn a college certificate or degree. EvCC has partnered with Achieving the Dream since 2011.
