Despite well-meaning efforts at the federal, state, institutional and private-sector level, student achievement in college remains alarmingly low.  Achievement can take many forms, of course, but at its core, the definition of achievement must mean graduation and the ability to find a job afterward.  Far too many students, particularly minority students and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, start college but don’t finish.  A new study, called Access to Success, is available to read on the home page of www.edtrust.org.  Take a look and share your views about how America’s colleges and universities can do better at not just recruiting students, but also at supporting them through graduation and beyond.  Is your son or daughter’s school doing a good job in providing student support?  Share your views with your fellow parents at Hoverings: A Blog for Current and Future College Parents, located on the home page of www.collegeparents.org.  Thank you.
