Research Director @NSClearinghouse. Passionate about data for increasing student success. Opinions expressed are my own.

It was great to be back on the Future Trends Forum. Thanks to @BryanAlexander and participants for the excellent questions and discussion about what @NSClearinghouse data are telling us. #FTTE

Looking forward to joining this panel next week.

[Jeff Selingo @jselingo]

The pandemic is rewriting the student success playbook. The pressure is on to find ways to re-engage students after a year of remote and hybrid learning. Join me as I talk w/@tim_renick, @dtshapiro, @uofmemphis Karen Weddle-West, and Furman's Clay Woody. https://t.co/97yakKe6D8

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

I'm really looking forward to joining this Brookings panel on Tuesday, discussing higher ed in the pandemic. Should be a great conversation with @DrMikeHansen @srcellini @wserrata and @usedgov's Melanie Muenzer.

@NateJohnsonFL @Comm_College @jfftweets Great chart! No influx of the unemployed is just a part of why this is nothing like a typical recession for CCs though: fewer traditional freshmen, more stopouts from spring '20, fewer transfer ins, more transfer outs... I fear they won't recover soon.

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

@DTandberg @NSClearinghouse To be honest, it's frightening to think about WHY this research is so important at this moment. But it is. And I am heartened by the potential of our partnership with @SHEEOed to find answers to these questions.

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

@EdTrust @DrAndrewNichols A great loss to his family and friends, to Ed Trust, and to the field. We will miss him.

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

@SecSmithEllis @DrAndrewNichols So sad. I'm sorry for your loss of a great friend.

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

Hard to overstate the equity implications of this fall's enrollment declines, documented by @NSClearinghouse research. @dougledIHE, @juanahsanchez and I discuss on @insidehighered's The Key podcast: https://t.co/T00IqMVRdS

[Doug Lederman @dougledIHE]

Folks: pleased to unveil new episode of The Key podcast - my 1st trying to fill @paulfain's shoes. Joined by @NSClearinghouse's @dtshapiro and @HCMStrat's @juanahsanchez talking about fall enrollment nos. and concerns about fate of disadvantaged students: https://t.co/UoWfWME8Lo

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

Pleased to talk with Newshour’s Hari Sreenivasan about impact of the pandemic on students in higher ed https://t.co/P3kzAgwRIt Latest data from @NSClearinghouse research tells the story

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

Many students aren't showing up at all this fall, while others seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity to transfer.

[National Student Clearinghouse @NSClearinghouse]

Student enrollment in #HigherEd is down this year due to the pandemic. Over the next 2 years, the NSC Research Center will track how enrollments change for students who transfer, persist, or drop out.

4) A political climate that distrusts and undervalues education

[Francisco Marmolejo @fmarmole]

A concerning trend: Fewer students in USA are enrolling in #Highereducation.
Three main reasons:
1)Low unemployment rate
2)Fewer high school graduates
3)Highly priced tuition & fees
Here's why that matters:

[Dr. Karen Stout (also on Threads and BlueSky) @drkastout]

There are some bright spots in #comm_college enrollments. But where are the adult students? https://t.co/3VMzFOstDI

[NCMPR @ncmpr_national]

The completion rate of public two-year college students has reached 40 percent for the first time since the @NSClearinghouse Research Center started tracking such data. (via @Comm_College: https://t.co/F1YEaETsHM)

[Reach Higher @ReachHigher]

The latest report from the @NSClearinghouse finds completion rates are still rising across all sectors in higher education, but with a slowing pace. https://t.co/oiH8yHXQLQ

Pleased to have a chapter in this volume, with co-author Zun Tang. @JoshPretlow did an amazing job putting it together!

[RTI International @RTI_Intl]

Our own @JoshPretlow edited a special issue of New Directions for Institutional Research (#NDIR). The issue includes 20 authors (@jltaylo @rkelchen), 11 from RTI with chapters on how to collect and analyze #quant data on higher education. Check it out: https://t.co/v4C6a1nlcj

[Doug Shapiro @dtshapiro]

Entering students are becoming more traditional, and institutions’ efforts to promote success are working. Result: 4th straight year of rising completion rates. Up 7pp since 2015.

[National Student Clearinghouse @NSClearinghouse]

"The results suggest that institutional efforts to improve retention, progression and success from the start of each student’s college career are increasingly effective," says @dtshapiro. https://t.co/OgjRaFbvis #NSClearinghouseResearch
