Dear partners and innovators,
The Lab's travels continue this weekend, when Lab Founder + CEO Kathleen deLaski joins Lee Lambert, Chancellor of Pima Community College in Arizona, for a session at the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) annual convening in New York City.
 AACC Annual 2022
Micro-pathways: A Gateway to Community College Transformation
Sunday, May 1, 3:10 to 3:55 p.m. EST
Murray Hill West, New York Hilton Midtown (Details)
Chancellor Lambert will talk about how Pima is using the micro-pathways design process to help transform one of the largest multi-campus community colleges in the nation. Pima designed eight micro-pathways through the Lab’s Community College Growth Engine Fund in 2020-21.
This isn't the first time Lambert and deLaski joined forces. You may remember the op-ed they co-authored in the AACC's Community College Daily in November 2021: Have we found the gateway to transform community colleges?
Can't attend the AACC panel on Sunday? We've compiled some quick highlights from an ASU+GSV Summit session featuring Chancellor Lambert on the same topic (pictured above).

What are micro-pathways?
Co-designed with learners and employers, micro-pathways are two or more stackable credentials, including a 21st century skill micro-credential, that are flexibly delivered to be achieved within less than a year and result in a job at or above the local median wage.
