While there is substantial evidence on how promise programs impact students, we do not know as much about how promise programs operate from the perspectives of those who administer the programs. Our recent work fills this gap to offer insights to policymakers. We interviewed 32 college administrators and practitioners from seven community colleges located in California, Florida, Michigan, and New York to understand their experiences interacting with promise students and implementing promise programs. These participants worked directly with students in college units that housed the promise program, and in other support service areas including first-year experience, admissions, financial aid, and academic advising. We analyzed their recommendations and summarized their key points.
