	Creating the resilient community college Change - Find Articles
		Finally, publicly communicating about issues and decisions and creating other structures to sustain the change process are key to developing the kind of effective, continually self-renewing, and vital strategic plan that is an essential feature of a resilient college.
		LaGuardia, founded in 1971, was the last community college to be established in the City of New York.
		LaGuardia Community College has a history of innovation: it was the first community college to mandate an urban studies course and require a cooperative education internship, and it has become a national leader in the use of learning communities.

	Academe - LaGuardia Community College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Community colleges are curious phenomena, simultaneously assailed and admired for their audacity in challenging the conventional college model.
		Indeed, the practices of community colleges, once considered unconventional, now permeate the entire academic structure as career-oriented curricula and work internships proliferate, as developmental education (often camouflaged) infuses liberal education, as controversies over nontraditional students rage, and as pressures to diversify pedagogy mount.
		LaGuardia was the third college and the first community college in the country to make work internships a degree requirement.

	NCRVE MDS-1046 - LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		When LaGuardia Community College was established in 1971, its first president established a culture of innovation and experimentation that, according to faculty and administrators, has persisted to this day.
		The spirit of innovation was also a vision of what a community college might be, since this institution was relatively unfettered by any long history of institutional orthodoxy or regulatory imperatives.
		In other ways, however, LaGuardia is the epitome of a community college, particularly in the composition of its students and its embodiment of the "people's college." The variety of races, languages, and ages at LaGuardia is almost overwhelming, even for two observers from California accustomed to great variation in community college students.

		Approximately 70% of the College’s students were born outside of the U.S. and nearly half of the entering class of 2000 that was non-U.S. born had immigrated within the past five years.

	Lumina Foundation: Helping People Achieve Their Potential
		Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count is a national initiative to help more community college students succeed, particularly students of color and low-income students.
		The University of Texas-Austin's Community College Survey of Student Engagement (www.ccsse.org), funded in part by a Lumina Foundation grant, helps institutions evaluate their performance with students based on five benchmarks: active and collaborative learning, student effort, academic challenge, student-faculty interaction and support for learning.
		"LaGuardia really did remarkably well on several of those benchmarks and does it in a context that is challenging: the proportion of U.S. students who were born in another country, for whom English is not the first language, who have other challenges related to poverty and the like," CCSSE director Kay McClenney says.

	Queensborough Community College
		Because learning communities are designed by faculty from different disciplines who come together to find a way to approach teaching and learning through the different perspectives of the disciplines, they are the ideal structure for dealing with diversity.
		Presentations focus on such issues as nonverbal communication codes within a specific culture, the history of a culture as it relates to the history of the United States, or the integration (or non-integration) of customs and rituals of the culture within the larger culture of New York City.
		The supportive nature of the faculty toward one another and toward students in the community establishes the perfect forum for the difficult, but necessary, discussions that we must have if our democracy is to generate new ways of dealing with racism, classism, heterosexism, ageism and the variety of ills that plague us.
