(MAY 20, 2026) — The Central Valley Higher Education Consortium is partnering with College Futures Foundation for its “Our Golden Ticket” campaign, a statewide initiative to spark a new conversation about connecting postsecondary attainment to real economic mobility and shared prosperity.
Dr. Kristin Clark, CVHECs dual enrollment co-lead who attended CFF’s kickoff event April 28 in San Diego, said the missions of CVHEC and CFF are aligned.
“Being part of a consortium grounded in collaboration and equity, our regional work is guided by the same belief that drives CFF’s campaign — that every Californian deserves the opportunity to achieve both social and economic prosperity,” said Clark who is also chancellor-emerita of West Hills Community College District.
“I’m excited that these partnerships create new opportunities to advance those goals by rethinking how we align academic programs with workforce needs through the use of more robust data and by presenting that information in ways that make regional trends, workforce gaps, and student opportunities more clear and more actionable.”
