I am looking forward to attending this Future Forum on Wednesday, February 21st at the LBJ Presidential Library Atrium on the 10th floor. Aside from the topic, which is of immense importance, I am glad to see one of our Education Policy and Planning (EPP) doctoral students, Greg Worthington, on the panel. Please register online (see below).
Consider liking EPP on Facebook.
