Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/08/2013 -- One Million Degrees (OMD) is proud to announce the release of its 2012-2013 Annual Report. This report outlines the powerful effects of the OMD program model, which helps low-income, highly motivated community college students succeed in school, in work, and in life. The report also details innovative new partnerships between OMD and some of Chicago's leading corporations and philanthropists in support of community college student success.

“It is profoundly rewarding to witness our scholars graduate from community college at a rate three times the national average, pursue additional education or enter the workforce in high demand fields, and develop into leaders in their communities," said Paige Ponder, CEO of One Million Degrees. "This would not be possible without the generosity of our donors, the time and energy of our remarkable coaches and volunteers, and of course, the dedication and drive of OMD Scholars."
