Knowledge Networks
Our Knowledge Networks (KNs) are smaller professional learning communities within the Collaborative that meet bi-monthly, alternating with Roundtable meeting months. The goal of the KNs is to foster deeper community-building while creating the opportunity for professional development around common topics and problems of practice. These KNs build space for complex problem-solving and ultimately lead members to develop a better toolkit of referrals and skills to inform their work in postsecondary success.
Knowledge Networks meet in October 2024, December 2024, February 2025, and May 2025. KNs build on themselves each session, so it is recommended that you try to attend all sessions of your selected network(s). With that said, we absolutely understand that life is busy - so, we hope you will show up in whatever way makes sense to you! Read about our KNs below and continue on to our KN sign-up to stay updated on meetings, resources, and on-topic opportunities!

Supporting Special Populations with Postsecondary Success
This KN’s goal is to expand our knowledge base and practical strategies for best supporting students and residents across these categories: youth/residents with disabilities, student parents, undocumented residents, youth/residents experiencing homelessness, & justice-impacted youth. Learn alongside practitioners grappling with how to navigate the systemic challenges facing these marginalized populations.
