Aurely Garcia Tulloch

Senior Research Assistant

Aurely Garcia Tulloch is a senior research assistant at the Community College Research Center (CCRC), where she investigates effective strategies for supporting historically underserved students in dual enrollment and transfer. Her work aims to shape dual enrollment and transfer reform to address and respond to the lived experiences of students, especially those coming from low-income, first-generation, and historically underrepresented communities.

At CCRC, she has co-authored the DEEP Insights report and elaborated on its findings in a subsequent peer-reviewed article published in New Directions for Community Colleges, both of which have significantly contributed to the national reform framework, “dual enrollment equity pathways.” She has been acknowledged in the Journal of Higher Education, featured in Inside Higher Ed’s “Voices of Student Success” podcast, and authored an op-ed for Inside Higher Ed on supporting former dual enrollment students as they transition through higher education as transfer students. Garcia Tulloch has presented on these topics nationally, with her work bridging her research expertise with her personal experiences as a former dual enrollment and transfer student.

Prior to joining CCRC, Garcia Tulloch gained extensive experience across various educational settings. She worked in student affairs at Florida Gulf Coast University, Barnard College, and Columbia Engineering, holding roles in functional areas such as residential life, first-year and transfer orientation, and under the Dean of the College and Dean of Student Affairs. Her background also includes experience as daycare and substitute teacher.

Garcia Tulloch holds an M.A. from Teachers College, Columbia University; a B.S. from Florida Gulf Coast University; and an A.A. from State College of Florida earned through dual enrollment.
