The program is intended to help students earn enough credits to graduate by offering a flexible, online schedule that allows students to work while still attending high school.

The graduating class of 2023 was the first “full pandemic” cohort, meaning they lost the last quarter of their freshman year to the beginning of COVID and spent their entire sophomore year in distance and hybrid learning. Despite this significant challenge, 86.18% of students districtwide graduated in four years. This represents a very slight decrease of 0.09 percentage points from 2022, is less than one percentage point away from the district's all-time high of 87.07% in 2020, and is 4.86 percentage points above the state average.  Disaggregated data shows gains in eight of ten categories of traditionally underserved populations, with the largest overall growth seen for students identifying as Black/African American/African, those who were English learners at any time in high school, and students with disabilities.

Samuels had previously been deported from the U.S. and lived under an alias. Cannon was observed receiving money from Samuels to purchase guns in a pawn shop, leaving his dog in the car, which later died from extreme heat stress.

In 2014, three Ohio colleges set out to adapt a student support model pioneered by the City University of New York called Accelerated Study in Associate Programs, or ASAP. The program requires students to attend college full time and provides them with support services for three years, including enhanced advising, financial aid, and career counseling. MDRC'S evaluation of the ASAP Ohio program has found that it doubled graduation rates for community college students after three years. With support from Arnold Ventures, MDRC recently released exciting long-term findings, showing that ASAP Ohio not only boosted attainment of associate's and bachelor's degrees after six years but also increased the earnings of students. In this episode, Leigh Parise talks with Christine Brongniart, the University Executive Director of CUNY ASAP, and Colleen Sommo, a senior research fellow in MDRC's Postsecondary Education policy area, to learn more about the CUNY ASAP model, its replication across the country, and the latest findings from MDRC's study of the program in Ohio.

There are a lot of students and families who spend a lot of time, money, and effort aimed at being accepted into the college of their dreams.  But as CEO and founder of Troove, David Hurwitt, reminds us in this episode, it's not about getting into college.

In stark contrast to prevailing trends in higher education, colleges and universities have or are boosting their enrollment, retention, and graduation rates by improving their students' sense of belonging, student support services, student-faculty relationships, and career readiness programs. In this podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton explores how higher ed leaders can follow these actionable steps with CEO Elliot Felix of Brightspot Strategy, a consultancy focusing on attracting and retaining students. Elliot shares these impressive findings based on his experiences with the 110 schools he's partnered with over the last 12 years. These experiences and national research studies revealed that students who feel like they belong on campus are about 40% more likely to continue after their freshmen year. Additionally, students who had an encouraging mentor or participated in an internship are twice as likely to find meaningful, engaging work after graduation. They believe that college is worth the cost. #HigherEdEnrollment #StudentSupport #HigherEdPodcast Podcast Highlights To understand the importance of a student's sense of belonging, higher ed leaders are encouraged to read Dr. Terrell Strayhorn's book College Students' Sense of Belonging. This book posits that if students feel they matter, are cared for, and are a part of something, their experiences will reinforce their experiences positively. Higher ed can instill a sense of belonging in students through spaces. Take a multifaceted approach by creating identity and affinity centers for underserved communities such as LGBTQ+, first-gen, student veterans, and parents. Also important are common spaces like student unions, libraries, and their events and programs, like student support organizations, and peer-to-peer relationships and service delivery. Colleges and universities already offer student support, but students and parents either aren't aware of them, aren't comfortable using them, or these programs are offered at the wrong time. Higher ed institutions need to find ways to integrate this support and make it more visible, accessible, and normalized. Connect career readiness opportunities to coursework. Notable examples include Johns Hopkins' Imagine Center, where career planning, life design, academic planning, and academic advising are all integrated into one place. At CUNY, Guttman Community College's “Ethnographies of Work” class has students shadow employees. Tulane, Stanford, and ASU also have offerings in life design. Provide digital and in-person support in an integrated, coordinated way through one-stop shops, for example. Create spaces that connect separated programs and services.   Download the transcript PDF →   Our Podcast Guest: Elliot Felix Elliot Felix is an author, speaker, teacher, father, and consultant to more than a hundred colleges and universities. He uses his background in design to make college work for all students by improving the spaces they learn and live in, the support services they rely on, and the technology they use. Over the last 20 years, he has spoken at SxSW Edu, taught courses on innovation, and worked with top universities like Carnegie Mellon, MIT, NYU, NC State, and the University of Virginia. Brightspot Strategy, the education consulting company he founded in 2011, was acquired by Buro Happold in 2020 and has improved the experience of more than 1,000,000 students.
