Friday, March 2, 2007, 1pm EST

Special Guests: Betsy Brand, Director, American Youth Policy Forum, Washington, DC; Jennifer Brown Lerner, Program Associate, American Youth Policy Forum, Washington, DC; and Daniel Voloch, Program Director of CUNY "College Now" at Hostos Community College, Bronx, NY.

This edition of EPILive focuses on a new report from the American Youth Policy Forum entitled "The College Ladder: Linking Secondary and Postsecondary Education for Success for All Students" reviews 22 programs that provide opportunities for high school students to earn college-level credit or take college-level courses to determine their impact on a range of student outcomes, including credits earned during high school, performance on high school tests, high school graduation rates, college-going rates, college remediation, college grades, retention in college, and degree and job market attainment.

This edition of EPILive will discuss findings from this report from AYPF, with a grassroots perspective from Daniel Voloch, Program Director of CUNY "College Now" at Hostos Community College.
