Colegio Ideas Joyce Foundation Newsletter | The Joyce Foundation More than seven million students, including rapidly growing numbers of lower-income and minority students, are working toward degrees and certificates at a community college. To ensure that these students are prepared to enter the workforce and continue in their education, the Joyce Foundation helps to bring leaders together to share and replicate best practices. In early September, the finalists were announced for the 2015 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence, which recognizes best practices among the more than 1,000 community colleges in the US.
