Dear Colleagues,

Enrollment is now open for the National Community College Benchmark Project 2010 data collection/reporting cycle (www.nccbp.org/).

The NCCBP collects and reports data on a variety of student outcomes, retention, developmental education, minority participation, market penetration, contract training, student/faculty ratio, faculty load, human resources, and professional development variables at the institutional level.

In 2009, 210 community colleges enrolled from all over the United States. This makes NCCBP the largest, most representative and comprehensive benchmarking initiative for two-year institutions in the U.S. Participants indicate that NCCBP data are invaluable for supporting accountability and accreditation processes.

NCCBP subscribers receive reports of their individual institutional and national aggregate data, as well as the opportunity to select peer colleges and create benchmark comparisons on the project Web site. For additional information, including enrollment forms and procedures, visit the NCCBP Web site (www.nccbp.org/Enroll).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Jeff Seybert, Ph.D.
Director, National Higher Education Benchmarking Institute
