Connecting and Convening: Making an Impact Together
Access, Momentum, and Mobility
Completing a degree or certification is just one milestone along an individual’s journey toward success.
Providing access to a quality education and a supportive environment to help students achieve their aspirations is only the beginning. The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to build a better life for themselves. This meaningful and far-reaching undertaking goes beyond formal training and will require partnerships that span institutions and industries throughout our region. We will explore a collective impact model as a framework to discuss economic mobility in the Southern Maryland region.
Keynote Address: Social and Economic Mobility of Southern Maryland
The College of Southern Maryland—in collaboration with community partners—can improve the upward mobility of its local residents. Community colleges were established to improve the social and economic mobility of their regions and their role in a community’s vibrancy has never been more relevant. In this address, disaggregated data on social and economic mobility within the Southern Maryland region (Calvert, St. Mary’s, and Charles counties) will be presented and explored. Together, we can affect change.
