Who We Are
Case Management Studio at Dallas College is a dedicated learning and professional development hub, established to train case management professionals with the skills, knowledge and practices needed to deliver high-quality and comprehensive support and service.
Thanks to early financial gifts from The Addy Foundation, the Harold Simmons Foundation and the McKesson Foundation, Dallas College entered the initial phase of research and exploration in 2023, identifying case management standards, competencies and training needs regionally and nationally. Launching officially in 2024 with the hiring of the executive director, the studio initially supported the professional development of Dallas College’s success coaches, case managers and other student care staff who support our students on the path to success.
Starting in Summer 2026, Case Management Studio’s offerings and learning programs are available to any case management professional who wants to become certified in their field or increase their knowledge in current, relevant case management practices.
CMS was developed through a phased, multiyear approach. Each phase reflects a progression from research and planning to implementation, assessment and regional leadership in case management training.

Case Management Studio is committed to:
Meeting real needs with solutions that matter. Every training, tool and strategy is rooted in the challenges case managers face in their daily work, ensuring skills can be applied immediately and effectively.
Sharing proven tools, frameworks and strategies designed for real-world applications. Grounded in experience and built for action, our methods enable professionals to respond with confidence and care.

Nonclinical case management is not just in demand — it’s rapidly emerging in new sectors and communities where coordinated support has not traditionally existed. From education to workforce programs, there is a growing need for professionals who can navigate complex systems, connect people to the right resources and improve outcomes.
CMS measures impact through participant feedback, learning outcomes and applied practice. Early results from the Fall 2025 Case Management and Integrated Support (CMIS) Cohort highlight strong engagement, skill development and professional confidence among participants.
