Dr. Joy Salvetti is the Director of the Center for College & Career Readiness (CCR) at California State University, Sacramento. Her experiences in higher education, the California State Legislature and government, as well as non-profit organizations have taught her the importance of building infrastructures of collaboration as no institution alone can address complex issues and challenges such as the academic preparedness of students. With this in mind, the CCR continues the mission of the Early Assessment Program (EAP) by implementing pathways to college and career success through the facilitation of regional partnerships. By working together, these regional partnerships are better poised to align curricula, expectations, and standards between the segments, with a focused lens on equity and access. The development of the EAP High School Senior Year Math Program is an example of this partnership process in collectively addressing math academic preparedness and transition opportunity for California’s students.
