Promoting Equity to Achieve the American Dream
What We Can Learn from the Data

Critical Questions…
• Is the American Dream truth or fiction for today’s students? What does the data tell us?
• What are the realities of traditionally underrepresented students in terms of enrollment and persistence in college?
• What lessons have we learned as we follow-forward the college experiences of underrepresented students in terms of persistence, drop-out, and down-transfer?
• Is there evidence that effective college readiness preparation can close the opportunity and persistence gaps? What adjustments must be made?

Why College Ready?
Will every student pursue higher education?
Not necessarily.
Should every student be prepared for and have the option to attend college or pursue higher education?
Absolutely!
