Was so honored to contribute to the Routledge Handbook on Postsecondary Student Success. Shouping Hu and Joe O'Shea pulled together an amazing roster of authors--check out the full list at the link below. (1/4)

Although no one will see it due to the holiday weekend and *waves hands at the awfulness*, I was glad to be cited in this recent Chronicle article on why the increase in earning college credit in HS doesn't seem to translate into improved college readiness. (1/8)

Just called @bennet.senate.gov and @hickenlooper.bsky.social. You guys should be up next...

#edusky colleagues, higher ed or K-12, please share. We are at Columbia, but we know that this struggle matters for education across the lifespan.

Do you work with first-gen college students? We want to learn from you! We'll be hosting virtual focus groups as part of our national study with FirstGen Forward. If you are interested, please use this link: naspa.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Questions? Send me a DM. Share with your colleagues!

Glad for this letter. Would really like to know why my senators and rep didn't sign. For heaven's sake, @bennet.senate.gov, you were a school superintendent! You should be fighting harder.

Since Governor Polis isn't on here, tagging @kylec.bsky.social to see if we can get someone to ask him about doing this in CO.

Coloradans! Let's thank our Senator @bennet.senate.gov for his forceful questioning of Kennedy just now. And encourage him and his colleagues to do more of this. No more playing nice with crackpots and folks who won't follow the law.

Dear fellow scientists, Go talk to the press about what is going on. Talk to local news about how it will impact jobs. Be specific, but don't pity yourself. Instead focus on how your own situation affects local jobs, the national economy, beating the growing scientific race with China. Suggestions:

Everything old is new again...this was the conundrum underpinning my dissertation, which I started in *2002*.

"Are they best suited to help college-bound high schoolers earn credits and save money, or to expose underserved students to college-level courses"

Really important insights that mirror what we've found in our work at Phase Two. Coreq is better than traditional dev ed, but that doesn't mean it's a panacea. We need better implementation, and more options for students.

Three days left to complete our survey on first-generation student supports! If you support these students, please respond to it. If you don't, forward to your colleagues who do! We are particularly interested in increasing our sample from #communitycolleges. naspa.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Chatting with @dral.bsky.social is one of my favorite things! Check out our conversation about institutional transformation and dev ed reform--with some Cornell love, book talk, and strategies for resistance thrown in for good measure.

This. Please leave "Judeo-Christian" out of whatever it is that's currently happening.

We at Phase Two are partnering with the Center for First Generation Student Success on a study of first-gen student support in higher ed. If you work at a college (any sector) & support first gen students (in any way), please fill this out!

All right, time to try this thing. I'm an applied sociologist of education, working with community colleges and broad access institutions. I do a little research, a little change management, a little advocacy--all to make sure higher ed is able to make good on its promise.
