Looking forward to joining this panel next week.
The pandemic is rewriting the student success playbook. The pressure is on to find ways to re-engage students after a year of remote and hybrid learning. Join me as I talk w/@tim_renick, @dtshapiro, @uofmemphis Karen Weddle-West, and Furman's Clay Woody. event.on24.com/eventRegistra…

Pleased to talk with Newshour’s Hari Sreenivasan about impact of the pandemic on students in higher ed pbs.org/newshour/show/how-th… Latest data from @NSClearinghouse research tells the story
Many students aren't showing up at all this fall, while others seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity to transfer.
Student enrollment in #HigherEd is down this year due to the pandemic. Over the next 2 years, the NSC Research Center will track how enrollments change for students who transfer, persist, or drop out.

4) A political climate that distrusts and undervalues education
A concerning trend: Fewer students in USA are enrolling in #Highereducation.

Pleased to have a chapter in this volume, with co-author Zun Tang. @JoshPretlow did an amazing job putting it together!
Our own @JoshPretlow edited a special issue of New Directions for Institutional Research (#NDIR). The issue includes 20 authors (@jltaylo @rkelchen), 11 from RTI with chapters on how to collect and analyze #quant data on higher education. Check it out: bit.ly/2Paxag4
Entering students are becoming more traditional, and institutions’ efforts to promote success are working. Result: 4th straight year of rising completion rates. Up 7pp since 2015.
"The results suggest that institutional efforts to improve retention, progression and success from the start of each student’s college career are increasingly effective," says @dtshapiro. bit.ly/2Yy9u9L #NSClearinghouseResearch
