@abacherhicks @Arnold_Ventures Awesome, congrats Andrew!

And this means I’ve finally moved to NYC (a dream!). Let me know if you’re in the area and please reach out if you want to learn more about the exciting funding opportunities we have at @Arnold_Ventures

Some professional news!! I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined @Arnold_Ventures as the Vice President of Evidence and Evaluation!

@slungaardmumma @wheelock_policy @BUWheelock @hgse @PaulMumma Fantastic news! Congratulations, Kirsten!

I am incredibly grateful for the mentors and colleagues @wheelock_policy @BUWheelock and @hgse who have helped me through this process. And I couldn't contemplate making this big move to NYC without the infinite support and eternal optimism of @PaulMumma 🧒🧒🧒👶🐶.

An update: I will be joining @TeachersCollege as an Assistant Professor in the Economics of Education with @EPSAatTC this fall! I'm looking forward to joining this group of incredible (and incredibly welcoming) faculty and students. 🚕🗽🏙️🍎

@DrewMAnderson Thanks for sharing this, Drew! These four-year state universities are doing important work to help traditionally underserved students.

NEW STUDY ALERT: Causal study shows that enrollment in a 4-year public college or university yields significant earnings benefits for historically disadvantaged populations of students and major economic benefits to the state. @UArkansas #EconomicMobility edworkingpapers.com/ai23-727

@kevin_stange @JoshuaSGoodman I believe yes on EFC, but no on most other FAFSA variables.

@JoshuaSGoodman @WhitneyKoz thanks! my read of your paper Whitney is that you have aid amounts, but not things on FAFSA (e.g. EFC, AGI, siblings, etc)

Users of state admin ed data: which states permit researchers to access and use FAFSA data in some way? Texas is one.

@EFPJournal @BethSchueler Hooray!! Congratulations Beth. I’ve always thought this paper was so cool.

Congratulations to @bethschueler! Her paper, “Making the most of school vacation: A field experiment of small group math instruction,” is the winner of the Thomas A. Downes Best Paper Award at #AEFP2021. Read the @EFPTakeaway here: aefpweb.org/sites/default/…

@bakerdphd @aefpweb I love to see this! Huge congratulations! Hope you and @ChrisBennettEdu enjoy the cider

@zidman @BethSchueler @MemeMedianMode When I moved to Chicago from my native Virginia, I was so confused that you can be in the city AND the county at the same time. Mind blown.

@BethSchueler @MemeMedianMode I keep being told I live in the "County" rather than in the "City"? Still don't know what that means except no one comes to collect my trash.

Virginia's independent cities ish is the bane of my longitudinal data analysis existence

@BethSchueler @MemeMedianMode @zidman From the person who lived down 64 from there, it’s Al-beh-marl, with the accent on the Al!

@MemeMedianMode @zidman How long do you have to live here to learn how to say “Ablemarle”?

@ChrisBennettEdu @bakerdphd Great news! Congratulations Chris

@irene2pak @HarvardCEPR @abacherhicks @OliviaLChi @camulhern @KatieEGonzalez @SLitschwartz @Carly__Robinson Thanks, Irene! We miss you

@JoshuaSGoodman Thank you for being a fantastic mentor, Josh!

@slungaardmumma Thanks Kirsten!! It was great to “see” you there today

Congratulations, Dr. Kozakowski! @WhitneyKoz 🎉🥂👏🏻

@RGGonzales1 @DaphneMPenn @ProfMartyWest @hgse Congratulations Daphne! 🎉🎊🍾

@VirginiaLovison @hgse Yes! I also loved TFing program eval, in part for this reason. It felt great to be a mentor.

A grad student told me last night how impactful it was to have me, a 👧 PhD student with a 👶🏻, as her teaching fellow for Program Eval @hgse, explaining simply “representation matters” #womeninquant

@JoshuaSGoodman @BrandeisU Congrats Josh! This is so well deserved and great news for the profession.

@DTandberg Thank you, David! I’m excited to finally share these findings and hope they can contribute to the broader discussion on higher ed access and funding moving forward.

A really interesting job market paper using cool data and methods. "Expanding access to four-year public colleges may be a particularly effective way to improve the economic outcomes of disadvantaged students." Good job, @WhitneyKoz. drive.google.com/file/d/18p5Vge…

@BethSchueler Thanks, Beth! The feeling is certainly mutual. You’ve been a fantastic role model.

I was lucky to work w/ @WhitneyKoz on a project re: what happened after (then mayor, now presidential hopeful) Cory Booker secured a gift from Zuckerberg for Newark school reform scholar.harvard.edu/files/schueler…. I learned a ton from her. She is a super talented scholar & great person.

@calenclifton Thanks Calen! It’s always great to see a paper make it to out in the world.

See prior tweet ⛈️ here. Main message: We need to be careful about using computer-based learning with students in remedial courses, even when used in a classroom setting with faculty support onsite. twitter.com/WhitneyKoz/sta…

New article from @chronicle synthesizes takeaways my work from KY and @angelaboatman’s from TN on the emporium model in remedial courses!
