Where did all the adult learners go?

The number of adult learners (24 years and older) at the nation's community colleges has been declining for several years. Attracting adult learners back is a strategic plan of East Central College and many other community colleges.

At the time of the September 2025 recording, Elizabeth Cox Brand was the Director of Student Success Center at the Oregon Community College Association (OCCA). She presented during the Rural Communtiy College Alliance national conference held on the ECC campus in September 2025.

She shared with Joel and Leigh the challenges and opportunities facing Oregon community colleges regarding the recruitement of adult learners and the resources available to them.
