When exploring new territory, it’s wise to have a flashlight to illuminate areas that aren’t e asily visible. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has upended nearly every aspect of our nation’s well-being and profoundly disrupted the higher education experiences of nearly 20 million students, put higher education in uncharted territory.

Being a first-generation college student often means that there is a divide between your school life and your home life. If you do not have members of your family or community that have the shared experience of going to college, then it can be challenging to bridge your new experience in college with your home life. Returning home during holiday breaks can emphasize this divide.

By: Tricia Seifert. When I was a kid, I dreamt of traveling the world. I remember friends from a youth organization (4-H) hosting an exchange student from Japan. I was in grade 4 and I wanted to learn all about this student’s life back home and how it compared to her experience in the US. When I was in high school, I begged my parents to become a host family.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Respect. Justice. Equality. Most of us aim to embody and enact these values in the work we do, in all our interactions, in all the spaces we inhabit. In a world of increasing inequality, these values demand much of us — especially white people in relation to racism.

by: Jason Cohn, Spring 2020 Policy Research Intern. Postsecondary education is supposed to be the great equalizer because it fosters upward mobility and economic sustainability. But it is only an equalizer for those who complete, and the path to completion is far from egalitarian. In particular, bachelor’s degree completers are disproportionately from higher-income households, and unfortunately, this pattern has worsened in recent years.

Fall term is the start of a new academic year, but it also signals the start of the application cycle for graduate and professional schools.

I can still remember the very first time I heard about graduate school.
