Rising to the Challenge
By Andrew P. Kelley, Mark Schneider, & Kevin Carey
This AEI report, Rising to the Challenge, acknowledges the reality that our success as a nation in meeting our college completion goals will be determined by how well we serve our Hispanic population. The authors document the fact that the status quo will not get us there: though some institutions do an excellent job of helping their Hispanic students earn a degree, many more fail to keep pace. The report offers policy recommendations at both the national and institutional levels that can improve college completion, but, equally important, the authors raise awareness of the need to better understand and serve Hispanic students in higher education.

Terms of Engagement
By MDRC.org
This study draws on the experiences of 87 African-American, Hispanic, and Native American men who were enrolled in developmental math courses at four Achieving the Dream institutions to find out more about what affects the success of men of color in community college. The fieldwork explored how students’ experiences in their high schools and communities, as well as their identities as men of color, influenced their decisions to go to college and their engagement in school. The students offered their perspectives in their own words in three rounds of focus groups and interviews during the 2007-08 academic year.
