Little investigated is the role of financial aid in whether students transfer or drop out, including relationships with residency status, given that public IHE students who are state residents often pay far less tuition than nonresidents. buff.ly/bbVPsQD #AcademicSky #highered
How smells are detected & coded in the brain has been notoriously difficult, but now 2 different research groups have figured out where mice's >1,000 odor receptors are located with their noses, which can lead to many new studies & clinical applications: buff.ly/JWOTgEQ #psychology #AcademicSky

The # dual enrollment students(high school students in college courses)is huge, but students in this special situation can benefit from more support, eg high school dual enrollment clubs & IHE dual enrollment student advisory panels buff.ly/OIL6STx #highered #AcademicSky @communityccrc.bsky.social
Sometimes helping college students navigate an elaborate administrative process isn't enough to get them through it; sometimes hugely simplifying that process may be necessary. Example: community college student cross-sector enrollment in California: buff.ly/JVPRxN1 #academicsky #highered
Some provisions in the "One Big Beautiful Bill" are decreasing financial aid for some IHE students. Because going away to college can be more expensive than going near home, this is bolstering the argument for community colleges giving bachelor's degrees: buff.ly/UTiMzAN #highered #AcademicSky
Based on the experiences of 10 states, here's advice about how to facilitate credit for prior learning (CPL) so people get credit for everything they've already learned, in all different places & by all methods, & get degrees faster: buff.ly/dDa8WOr #academicsky #highered #beyondtransfer @rand.org
Altho the # states offering community college bachelor's degrees (24) has not increased in the past 2 years, the number of IHEs offering these degrees has increased by 14.4% (from 187 to 214), with business & nursing being the most commonly offered programs. buff.ly/LzvIbSi #highered #AcademicSky
In 1973, after 2 yrs of college French, I took a tour of Notre Dame. I thought I understood what the French guide was saying, but did I? Research shows that people overestimate their understanding of info spoken in a language that has some overlap w. theirs: buff.ly/EVAvo8g #highered #Academic Sky
Data continue to show that community college students who have experienced dual enrollment (college courses in high school) are more likely to earn a college credential, to transfer to a bachelor's IHE, and to then get a bachelor's: buff.ly/6B7eFh5 #highered #AcademicSky
Despite many benefits of accelerating college for high school students by giving them opportunities to earn college credits, they can face challenges, incl. "confusion about selecting courses and majors, credit transfer issues." buff.ly/Wijlco3 TransferExplorer.org can help. #highered #academicsky
