The Institute for Economic Mobility

Mission

The Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) Institute for Economic Mobility conducts research that identifies inequities that Northeast Ohio students experience before, during and after college and develops interventions to reduce these inequities. 

The institute seeks to build a body of knowledge about under-resourced college students that can be used to help them overcome educational barriers, obtain good jobs, and create a middle-class lifestyle for themselves and their families, ultimately increasing economic mobility in the region.

The institute was founded in 2017.
