Abstract
ABSTRACT Community colleges are one of the United States’ greatest educational success stories. Accessible to nearly every community, these colleges are woven into the fabric of society. They serve the highest diversity of postsecondary students and offer an ambitious array of educational missions. However, despite these longstanding accolades, community colleges have long been subject to pervasive false narratives and enduring stigma. Social media, however, offers a solution to these issues. This article argues that practitioners from inside community colleges can leverage this form of media as public scholarship, addressing faulty narratives by placing research, data, and information straight into public channels, disrupting the cycle of disinformation that has plagued these institutions for over a century.
