Moon Shot

To fulfill the promise of student success, we must eliminate persistent equity gaps at our colleges and universities. Our communities and our country will thrive only if all people have a fair and equal chance to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed.

Today, that means helping many more Americans complete college degrees and credentials of value. Schools that join the project commit to working together and with EAB to help more underrepresented students of color and other historically underserved populations graduate from college.  RRCC has partnered with EAB Moon Shot for Equity which is a 5-year commitment to build a comprehensive equity strategy across all areas of the college while removing institutional barriers to equitable student success.

Through Moon Shot for Equity, RRCC will develop a cohesive equity plan that provides research-backed best practices, policies, and technology proven to reduce and eliminate equity gaps. For our students, that means reaching their attainment goals in less time, for less money, and achieving better career outcomes.

If you are a Red Rocks faculty or staff member and would like to participate in our Moon Shot effort, email rrcc.inclusion@rrcc.edu. 

Moon Shot aligns with the strategies and tactics of the college's current Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan.  To learn about progress on that larger plan, see the DEI Annual Report or shortened Community Update. 

Moon Shot is a college-wide effort and requires the knowledge, skills, and collaboration of all areas of Red Rocks.  The EAB Moon Shot Steering Committee is listed below.  Please feel free to reach out with questions or ideas.
