What is the Degrees When Due (DWD) initiative & how can it help more students complete their degrees? Listen in to find out!

Alabama Possible is a statewide nonprofit organization that breaks down barriers to prosperity through advocacy, education, & collaboration. For nearly 30 years, we have transformed how people think & talk about economic opportunity & educational attainment in Alabama & beyond. Education is the road to a better life, & we work at the intersection of practice & policy to ensure all young people can pursue their education without sacrificing their economic futures. Our research-driven work equips policymakers, educators, & business leaders, along with students & their families, with tools & relationships to build a college-going culture. We all benefit when everyone has the opportunity to complete a valuable postsecondary credential, & our programs make that possibility a reality.

The Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) is a nonpartisan nonprofit research, policy, & advocacy organization committed to promoting access & success in higher education for all students, with a focus on students of color, students from low-income backgrounds, & other historically marginalized populations.

Thank YOU so much for tuning in. Join us on the next episode for YOUR time to EdUp!
