Shoptalk Online 310 Special Edition: Strategic Enrollment Management

Summary of Research on Hispanic Students and Families Concerning Higher Education
Over the course of two years, we at TG have had the opportunity to work with a number of universities, organizations, and individual professors who are conducting interesting and insightful research into issues of Hispanic students and families and higher education in Texas. Because of the importance of Hispanic students to the future of the state and to the goals of Closing the Gaps, we thought it would be appropriate to gather this information all in one place.

How Graduate Students Finance Their Educations: Across the Nation, In Texas, and at Hispanic Serving Institutions
To meet the goals of Closing the Gaps by 2015, the State of Texas' plan for improving undergraduate higher education and research capacity and increasing college and university enrollment, graduate education must increase correspondingly.

An examination of student loan repayment
This White Paper, titled Crisis Averted or Merely Postponed, was prepared by TG on long-term cohort default rates for student loans. The paper also contains an examination of the role of deferments, forbearances, and resumed repayments as remedies for loans that have become delinquent in repayment.

Keeping America's Promise, a report on the future of the community colleges
Keeping America's Promise, a report on the future of the community colleges, published in July 2004 by the League for Innovation in the Community College and the Education Commission of the States, offers a collection of working briefs by multiple authors. Each brief presents compelling arguments regarding the critical role that community colleges play in today's higher education landscape. By the end of the report, the reader has a picture of the current state of the American community college with all its glories and challenges.
