Ascendium Education Group recently released The National Rural Postsecondary Research Agenda, a resource that surfaces sixteen critical questions to build knowledge and understanding with the goal of improving, and making more equitable, postsecondary and workforce outcomes for rural learners. The research agenda is designed for researchers, postsecondary leaders and other stakeholders committed to rural learner success.
Sova was honored to partner with Ascendium to facilitate the development of the research agenda with a working group of rural education researchers from across the country.
