12 California community colleges expand Nuventive’s presence in the US’ largest higher education system

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nuventive is building significant momentum across California as community colleges increasingly look for stronger ways to manage institutional improvement processes, including learning outcomes assessment, program review, student success, strategic planning, accreditation support, and more.

So far this year, 12 additional California community colleges (CCC) have selected the Nuventive Improvement Platform, bringing the company’s total to 40 CCC institutions and 3 district offices.

Much of this recent growth is being led by institutions strengthening two foundational improvement processes: learning outcomes assessment and program review. Nuventive helps institutions make these processes more aligned, sustainable, and connected to the evidence used to guide continuous improvement and map resource requests to priorities.

Of particular interest to CCCs is the ability to connect disaggregated student learning outcomes data from the Canvas learning management system directly to these efforts through the Platform’s Nuventive Connect-LMS feature, making that evidence more accessible and actionable within broader improvement processes.

Nuventive supports institutions wherever their improvement priorities begin. From that foundation, institutions can expand their use of Nuventive to support strategic planning, student success, and other institution-wide priorities.

As new priorities emerge, institutions can easily support them, because once the process is learned, it is easily reproducible in the Platform. The same approach of planning, evaluating progress, taking action to improve as needed, and documenting results helps institutions achieve their immediate goals, improve over time, and adapt as their needs change.

As institutions broaden these efforts, Nuventive provides greater visibility into progress across courses, programs, departments, and initiatives, helping leaders understand what is working, where attention is needed, and how evidence can inform institutional priorities.

“California community colleges are doing important work to strengthen how assessment and program review contribute to meaningful, data-informed improvement,” said Dr. David Raney, CEO of Nuventive. “What we’re seeing is a desire to build an effective approach that can be used across initiatives and the institution and can be applied as priorities evolve — helping institutions achieve what matters now, improve over time, and adapt to what comes next.”

Interested institutions can see the Nuventive Platform at several upcoming conferences, including the Community College Business Officers Leadership Academy and Annual Conference, the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference 2026, and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) Partners in Excellence Conference.
