ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Home to 4.6 million people, the Inland Empire is growing. The region is youthful, with a higher share of children and young adults than the rest of the state—but relatively few earn college degrees. How are institutions, educators, and policymakers addressing low rates of college completion, and what strategies are working to encourage more students to go to and through college? Join us for a presentation of new findings and a panel discussion with local leaders.
This research and event are supported with funding from the College Futures Foundation and the Gates Foundation.
