About the program
Boosting college enrollment and graduation among Latinos, African Americans, and low-income Californians can narrow the state’s economic divide and help meet workforce needs. PPIC researchers will outline a new report on broadening the benefits of a college degree, and a panel of experts will discuss strategies for expanding access and completion.
This research and event are supported with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, and the Sutton Family Fund.
