More Than Dollars for Scholars: A Talk by Lindsay C. Page — Sep. 10, 2018

Join the USC Pullias Center for Higher Education and the Center for Economic and Social Research (CESR) at USC Dornsife for an engaging talk featuring Lindsay C. Page, an assistant professor of research methodology at the School of Education and a research scientist at the Learning Research and Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh.

Page’s talk is titled “More Than Dollars for Scholars: The Impact of the Dell Scholars Program on College Access, Persistence, and Degree Attainment.” An abstract of her research is available on the CESR’s website.

Page’s work focuses on quantitative methods and their application to questions regarding the effectiveness of educational policies and programs across the pre-school to postsecondary spectrum. Much of her recent work has focused on implementing large-scale randomized trials to investigate potential solutions to “summer melt,” the phenomenon that college-intending students fail to transition successfully from high school.

The event happens Mon., Sep. 10, 2018 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm at Verna and Peter Dauterive Hall (VPD), room 110, on USC’s University Park Campus. The event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are encouraged; call Sally Hess at 213-821-1782 or email sallyhes@usc.edu.
