Municipal Leadership for Postsecondary Success

Posted by on November 19, 2012

With support from Lumina Foundation, NLC’s Institute for Youth, Education and Families (YEF Institute) has developed a series of new publications highlighting city strategies to increase local college completion rates, an increasingly important component of local economic development agendas.  The series includes three municipal action guides on:

Municipal Leadership for Postsecondary Success: Getting Started;
Conducting a Scan of Local Efforts to Promote Postsecondary Success; and
Using and Sharing to Improve Postsecondary Success.

Also with support from Lumina Foundation, NLC commissioned an analysis by Professor Kenneth K. Wong of Brown University on the role that mayors are playing to support college access and completion in their cities.
