Each commencement season gives us at CCRC a chance to recognize the accomplishments of graduating staff members. This year, we are pleased to celebrate four researchers who have earned their advanced degrees: Jenivee Gastelum, Joe Hille, Farzana Matin, and Hanna Nichols.
After 16 years with CCRC, Elisabeth Barnett moved toward retirement in 2023. This blog post explores the researcher's early career and time at CCRC.
Although the rise in online coursetaking has benefits in terms of convenience and flexibility for students, it is not without challenges. Two new reports offer insights into approaches that can help colleges support students in online courses, particularly STEM courses.
In April, CCRC hosted an all-day meeting in Louisville, KY focused on understanding the ways community colleges can contribute to the green energy transition with the goal of developing a research agenda around community colleges and climate change.
In an April webinar, CCRC researchers discussed their findings from a study of the support networks of first-generation students in California and who they turn to for help. A recording of the webinar is available within this blog post.
