ACHIEVING THE DREAM - A Lumina Project

 

The Alamo Community College District is one of 35 colleges nationwide participating in a multi-year initiative called Achieving the Dream. Participating colleges are in seven states: Texas, Florida, New Mexico, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and Connecticut. Seven colleges in Texas are participants: ACCD (all colleges), Brookhaven (Dallas) Coastal Bend (Beeville), El Paso, Galveston, Houston, South Texas (McAllen) and Southwest Texas (Uvalde).
