ABOUT MICHIGAN COLLEGE ACCESS NETWORK

MCAN is an equity focused organization and values having broad, diverse representation and inclusivity on our team. This is critical to provide perspectives and lived experiences to help guide our work to have the greatest impact. We especially encourage people of color and first generation college graduates to apply.

Since our founding a decade ago, Michigan College Access Network has known that college changes everything — and perhaps even more critical to our mission is the belief that college is for everyone. 

We do what it takes to provide students in Michigan with a brighter long-term future, through college access and postsecondary certificate and degree attainment: doing the research, talking to agents of change, connecting resources, being a changemaker.

Why? By encouraging Michigan residents to earn postsecondary certificates and degrees, we not only help them earn more and promote their well-being — we also strengthen Michigan's talent pool, retain and attract businesses to the state and stimulate Michigan's economy in the process.

Through college access, we are also able to promote equity in our state. We work to ensure that every student in Michigan has the opportunity to attend college — especially low-income students, first-generation college-going students and students of color.

 

VISION AND VALUES

 

College is postsecondary education. 

We use the term college to refer to attainment of education beyond high school, including postsecondary certificates and academic degrees.

College is a necessity.
Postsecondary attainment dramatically increases an individual’s economic independence in a knowledge-based economy.

College is for everyone.
We work toward changing the systems that perpetuate inequities in postsecondary attainment.

College is a public good.
Postsecondary attainment is critical to a just and equitable society, strong economy, thriving democracy, and healthy communities.
