Departments

Center for Access, Success, & Equity (CASE)

The Center for Access, Success, & Equity was created to address three overarching topics in education today: access, success, and equity for students in P-20 institutions. The overall goal is to “turn research into practice” and have a direct impact on the educational outcomes of students by completing extensive research, offering professional services, and engaging in policy creation and reform. We view all three of these actions as overlapping and intertwined with one another, with one component complementing, or leading into, the next.
