I study classroom communities, pedagogy, curriculum and socio-technical systems in communities colleges and 4-year undergraduate education. Views mine.

And as I near the end of Year 15 post-PhD, looking back, I think the academic race is not given to the swift nor to the strong...

...but to those who have HELP enduring until the end.

Mentoring matters. A good academic mentor is worth the world. Makes such a difference in our careers & our lives.

Some key takeaways: 1-Social connectedness is related to increased odds of return 2-Workforce opportunities and educational attainment may shape students return decisions. Places that rely on agriculture & mining jobs were less likely to see returners & communities w > average bachelors attainment.

Now, here's the error explanation. I'll note this does not align with how I would think of an imputation error as suggested by the interview with the outgoing CEO earlier this week. Reaaaal useful example for methods classes on researcher assumptions.

Someone asked me how I "got it right" that the "drop" in the NSC October report almost certainly did not happen. Most of it is because of the ED report they mention here which appears to align with the new NSC data. Low-income student enrollment is likely up!
