On Monday June 20 in Cambridge, Mass., and on Tuesday June 21 in Washington, DC, the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center will release two new reports on The Educational Experience of Young Men of Color that provide the most comprehensive data, research findings and recommendations to improve the educational experiences and pathways of young men of color. Combined with findings from in-depth student interviews and video student voices, produced in collaboration with the Business Innovation Factory's Student Experience Lab, these two studies provide a compelling narrative that tracks the progress and pitfalls for young men of color on their way to a college degree.
The report and launch of this new national initiative will be announced at an event on June 20th at 2 p.m hosted in collaboration with the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African American Research. A distinguished panel, moderated by National Public Radio's Claudio Sanchez will include Representative Joaquin Castro, Special Assistant to the President for Education Roberto Rodriguez, Yale Professor James Comer, Actor/Activist Hill Harper, among others. The event will be live webcasted here and you are invited to join Katherine @thebif Hypolite for a lively twitter chat at #studentvoice.
