The IAP is the only community college-centered instrument package in the nation with widespread distribution that focuses on factors influencing success for underserved students. In particular, the CCSM differs greatly from other national assessments due to its concentration on campus climate and non-cognitive outcomes. With a focus on equity-centered institutional effectiveness, IAP results directly inform institutional planning, practices, and professional development. The IAP has been featured in media outlets such as Diverse Issues in Higher Education, C-SPAN, and KPBS.
