Corequisite Learning Support

Timothy L. Hall became the 12th president of Mercy College in May 2014. One of his most important priorities has been to improve the success of Mercy students.  In his first three and a half years, freshmen retention improved by nearly ten percent and graduation rates increased by more than twenty percent.

Bruce Vandal, Senior Vice President for Implementation at Complete College America, directs the corequisite remedial education reform strategy and provides key policy leadership on CCA’s completion agenda. Bruce directs several projects related to corequisite remedial education reform and math pathways. Among them is the Scaling Corequisite Initiative funded by the Lumina Foundation and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation that is working with 15 states on efforts to scale corequisite support for the vast majority of students who would otherwise be enrolled in traditional remediation.
