<span id="docs-internal-guid-6db1f6bd-768a-89a8-38c3-3e8655b511da"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In a project such as this, support from various sources within both the university as well as the community college is essential. [[File:Support.jpg|thumb|Support.jpg]]These sources include all of the leaders and advisors within both institutions, as well as students. It is important to make an immediate connection to the faculty of both institutions, starting at the university. Find a leader at the university who can help you establish an initial relationship with the community college.</span></span> <span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span>

This is where a lot of the stigma against community college comes from. If it’s possible to change the viewpoints of the students, it will be easier to reach out to the rest of the community.</span></span>

Many people do not realize what a community college is or does. This creates a major problem: community colleges tend to have a stigma attached to them. Many members of the community, including other students, view two-year colleges as inferior. Gaining the support of the student body would help in eliminating this stigma and improving relations between community colleges and universities, as well as help in gaining the support of the local communities.</span></span>
