Student Success Is a Family Affair at the Community College of Aurora

At CCA, we believe that no one crosses the finish line alone. That’s why our annual Student Success Awards is more than just a celebration—it's a tribute to the families, mentors, and friends who lift up our graduates every step of the way.

From cheering grandparents to dancing toddlers, this was a true family-friendly celebration of achievement and resilience.

We welcomed our soon-to-be graduates and their entire support systems—those who offered late-night encouragement, shared childcare duties, and reminded our students of their greatness when the journey got hard.

This is what student success looks like in an inclusive, equity-centered learning community. A space where children run free, laughter fills the air, and every supporter gets the recognition they deserve.

Swipe through these powerful moments that reflect the spirit of CCA: a college where we don’t just graduate students—we graduate families.
