Catch the Next

Day 2 of the Transfer Motivational Conference was a great start!

Our Ascender students, educators, mentors, and CTN staff came together to connect, learn, and build momentum. Thank you to everyone who made today meaningful. We look forward to closing strong tomorrow!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the ASCENDER Professional Learning Series, Foundational Seminar at Dallas College–Brookhaven Campus!

Your collaboration reminds us what is possible when educators come together with shared purpose: empowering students, supporting one another, and creating pathways for lasting success.
