A 2023 report by the Community College Research Center found that only 16% of community college students earned a bachelors program within six years and just 10% of low-income students did. On average, students lose a fifth of their credits when transferring to a four-year college, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

SREB recently released its "The Skills Employers Demand: An Analysis of the Research" report to aid educators and policymakers as they work to integrate soft, employability skills into secondary and postsecondary education. The report summarizes a decade of studies, between 2013 and 2023, and analyzes job postings in 16 SREB states.
This principle of MI underlies its "spirit," which is fundamentally about compassion and acceptance (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). There is comfort in the status quo, and resistance to change can be viewed as a natural defense mechanism against potential discomfort. If it is the former, we foster an environment where change can occur.

A 2013 Princeton University study found that students who engaged in more diverse interactions during college were more likely to challenge their own beliefs and develop more inclusive attitudes. He showed through rigorous research that diversity resulted in superior problem solving in both research environments and in broader contexts.
That’s how Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser became president of Colorado Mountain College (CMC) in 2013. She’s researched the needs of the local, tourist-driven economies that surround CMC’s 11 campuses.

When Bill de Blasio placed universal Pre-K at the forefront of his New York City mayoral campaign in 2013, he signaled a commitment to expanding educational opportunities for all children, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Childcare is not just a familial concern; it is a workforce issue that impacts the entire community.
A growing body of research has shown that race-matched instruction—when teachers and learners come from the same background—is beneficial for students. College students have been shown to be likelier to pass courses with race-matched instructors, likelier to receive higher grades in those courses, and likelier to persist in school.
her primary research interests are in racial minority group politics, particularly inter-minority political and social competition, and urban politics, especially public policy and urban crime. The 6 th edition will be published in mid-2013.) A Howard University Ph.D.,
Black students in elementary school, particularly Black boys, are less likely to be identified for special education when their teachers are also Black, according to a new report published by the American Educational Research Association (AERA). The results of this research add to the case for the U.S. Most teachers are not Black.”
There is considerable research generated about African Americans in higher education, specifically faculty. Yet there is little research on the underrepresentation of African American community college trustees. Smalls In a perfect world, governing boards and leadership demographics would mirror the student population (Higgs, 2014).
Bryn Geffert The move by UVM Press – overseen by UVM Libraries – is meant to eliminate financial hurdles and barriers to peer-reviewed research that traditional publishing and access models impose. Before UVM, he helped launch the Amherst College Press in 2013 and led a consortium of libraries in creating the open-access Lever Press in 2016.

As it celebrates its 50th anniversary, SACNAS remains rooted in a belief that science cannot be properly taught, researched, or applied to human beings’ daily existence unless scientists bring some essential parts of their background and worldview to that sphere. It was empowering,” he said. SACNAS filled that hole. But I’m not elitist ….

Research suggests that virtual environments are different from face-to-face teaching with respect to learning and need to be modified accordingly. Students feel more detached from professors and their fellow students than professors believe them to be (Otter, Seipel, Graeff, Alexander, Boraiko, Gray, Petersen, & Sadler, 2013).

Monetizing assets through innovation hubs.
Feedback allows students to identify strengths and areas of growth, gain understanding of complex professional methods, and develop a repertoire of strategies to enhance their performance (Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006). One important element of feedback constantly overlooked is the time frame in which it is provided. See Image 1.
Polls in 2013 (by CNBC) and 2017 (by the Journal and NBC) asked the identical question, and Americans were 53 percent favorable and 40 percent negative in 2013 and evenly divided (49 percent positive, 47 percent negative) in 2017. It is declining and at this point is more negative than positive.

Universities may want to evaluate their research strategies and partnerships in the sciences and steer them toward industrial needs for developments in sensors, displays, battery life, network, and computer performance. Leveraging some research funding for the implications of use is an opportunity. Think foundations.
Relevance We know that college is challenging; for students who have never learned or been presented with college success strategies, it can even be more difficult (Winkelmes, 2013). Faculty willing to implement transparent assignments do not have to change all their assignments to this format.
