We are now emphatically focused on trying to ensure that those who walk through our doors are successful, defined as transferring, or having the skills needed to thrive in a job that pays a living wage,\u201d Evelyn Waiwaiole, executive director of CCCSE, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccsse.org\/NR2019\/Mindset.pdf\">wrote in the report.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using a mindset lens, community colleges can also better help students process setbacks and combat the negative perceptions they face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the students who walk through the doors of community colleges have already been told they are not college material. Or they have had experiences that led them to believe they cannot do math or are not good at taking tests,\u201d Waiwaiole said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough intentional and deliberate actions, colleges can begin to move students from what the Center is calling \u2018nonproductive mindsets\u2019 to \u2018productive mindsets\u2019 and change the way they feel about past failures. This shift can lead to more engaged students\u2014and ultimately, more successful students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccsse.org\/NR2019\/Mindset.pdf\">full report.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Ashley Dobson is NACAC\u2019s senior communications manager for content and social media.
