Empowering Data-Informed Decisions for Students in the U.S. ft. Erin Velez
The Higher Edge
<p>There are so many organizations that work to support higher education that *aren't* colleges and universities, such as RTI International, and the work they do to help empower data-informed decisions for students.</p>
<p>From the Department of Education's College Scorecard (<a href="https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/" rel="nofollow">https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/</a> ) to preparing for the College Transparency Act (<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/839" rel="nofollow">https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/839</a>) currently going through the U.S. Congress, their work actively supports students across the country. </p>
