Save the Date: CASE: College Access and Success Ecosystem – Mar 6

Posted by Philadelphia Education Fund on January 30, 2024

The Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) is honored to serve as the backbone organization for the newly-formed College Access and Success Ecosystem (CASE). CASE is a data-driven, collective effort, with a goal of leveraging the talents of nonprofits, school leaders, government and industry to move the needle on rates of high school, college, and postsecondary completion.

Ecosystem members aim to work together to ensure more Philadelphia students graduate on time from high school and college by using data and serving as agents of information, access and opportunity.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The next CASE convening is scheduled for Thursday, March 6 from 11:00am – 1:00pm, location TBD.

Last month, CASE held its first working meeting at the Academy of Natural Sciences, assembling 40 attendees representing K-12, nonprofits, higher education institutions, government, community members, and business.

During the session, the three teams – On-time High School Graduation, On-time College Graduation, and Data & Evaluation – discussed frameworks and metrics for success, and how involvement in CASE might inform their work.
