What sets a high-performing community college apart from a standard one? And why is there an increasing amount of focus on community colleges? Josh Wyner, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program, addresses these questions through his research for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. His findings are presented in his book, "What Excellent Community Colleges Do: Preparing All Students for Success" (Harvard Education Press).
