New evidence on workforce training in community colleges reveals earnings gains averaging ~$2,000 per year within two years, but gains vary by program field, length, and type. Research like this is needed to guide the implementation of Workforce Pell. bit.ly/48mdzDe

Shoutout to Chris @OtterBox for outstanding customer support. I have always been happy with OtterBox customer support, but Chris was the BEST, super helpful, and so darn funny. I have never laughed so hard when calling a company to seek assistance with a product.

@Matt_Giani @Matt_Giani, thanks for pointing that out! I turned off the account protection. Please feel free to retweet. I so appreciate your help getting the word out.

@ProfessorBahr Will do! I tried to retweet the posting but it seems like I can’t because you have a protected account? Either way, I’ll share with my network!

Great coverage of our research on improving economic opportunity through community colleges in the Michigan Education Magazine. soe.umich.edu/magazine/growi…

Minimal effects of undergraduate debt on graduation school application and enrollment -- a surprising finding for us in our recently published study. doi.org/10.1007/s11162…

THREAD: What happens to student outcomes if a state increases/decreases public funding for higher education? The @SHEEOed team spent the last year looking to answer this question. Here’s what we found (BTW - I'm incredibly proud of this work)....
