Filling this gap not only demands enrolling and retaining adult learners, but addressing equity gaps in STEM.

Persistence Plus will then share evidence-based strategies for supporting those adult learners to a STEM credential and a life-altering new career.

Andy Carlson, Vice President of State Strategy, CollegeAPP
Kristen Gonzales, Ed.D., Director of of Public & Government Relations, Marketing & Communications, MiraCosta College
