The Effects of COVID-19 on Transfer-Intending Students in California’s Community Colleges

Virtual Event

November 3, 2022 · 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

About the Program

The pandemic widened gaps in access for community college students—and the full effects are just beginning to emerge. PPIC researcher Cesar Alesi Perez will present findings on the impact of COVID-19 on transfer-intending students. Then an expert panel will consider these outcomes in light of pre-pandemic reforms and discuss actions the state can take to strengthen enrollment and narrow equity gaps

This research and event are supported with funding from College Futures Foundation and Sutton Family Fund.
