Bellevue College

Bellevue College has been designated a 2026 Leader College of Distinction by Achieving the Dream (ATD), a national organization committed to advancing community colleges as accessible hubs of learning, credentialing and economic mobility.

“This designation as a Leader College of Distinction by Achieving the Dream belongs to Bellevue College's entire community,” said Bellevue College President David May. “Our vision is rooted in transforming lives and strengthening our region through education. Together, we are building systems that not only help students enroll, but persist, graduate, and contribute meaningfully to the Eastside region and beyond. We are building a future-focused, vibrant community as a result.”

ATD created the Leader College of Distinction designation in 2018 to recognize institutions that have demonstrated sustained excellence in advancing student success outcomes over time. Leader Colleges of Distinction must demonstrate sustained and expanding success in early momentum metrics, such as course success rates and student retention, as well as in milestone momentum outcomes, such as rates of completion; a strong culture of data-informed continuous improvement; and evidence that effective practices are institutionalized.
