How Elite Colleges Are Tackling Education Equity
Description:
Join the dean of admissions at Brown University and the president of Howard University as they explore how to make college more accessible for students from low-income backgrounds. Rather than uplift our country’s most talented students, the current system exacerbates – and magnifies – systemic inequities in our schools. How are selective colleges teaming up with underserved school districts to bridge this gap and find the talented students that the current system so often overlooks?
