In order to increase the number of college graduates in our state, we must significantly increase the number of community college transfer students to our universities. This is why in 2010 and 2013, with Senator Alex Padilla's leadership, we championed historic transfer reform legislation (SB 1440 & SB 440). Below we provide you with an update on how California is doing. One thing is certain, The Campaign for College Opportunity will continue to work towards ensuring that a strong transfer pathway that helps students reach their college graduation dreams is finally true for a much larger number of our community college students.
