In this article the authors explore the educational, economic, and social dynamics that position the community college as a key player on the national and international scene. Making the most of community colleges in the face of these dynamics, however, will mean grappling with and planning for key trends. To take a big picture look at these trends, the authors detail the results of the third study in a series of League for Innovation in the Community College road-ahead studies. The 2003 study included reviews of research, a national survey of CEOs, and a series of focus groups. The results point to seven key cluster areas surrounding issues of (1) learning swirl, (2) partnership programs, (3) funding agony and opportunity, (4) teaching, reaching, and leadership transitions, (5) learning dialogues and documentation, (6) high tech and high touch creativity and connection, and (7) courageous catalysts.
