Ronn Hallett is a professor of education in the La Fetra College of Education at the University of La Verne. Previously, Hallett was an associate professor in the Benerd School of Education at University of the Pacific. A former research assistant at the USC Pullias Center for Higher Education, Hallett’s research interests include the influence of social context on educational participation and achievement. As a sociologist, his research seeks to address the social inequalities that influence marginalized student populations. His current research interests fall into three areas: (1) how mobility influences educational participation for homeless and undocumented youth; (2) the process of transitioning to higher education for underserved student groups; and, (3) how to teach writing in graduate school.
Hallett serves as a qualitative researcher on the Pullias Center for Higher Education’s Promoting At-Promise Student Success (PASS) Project, formerly known as the Thompson Scholars Learning Communities (TSLC) Study.
