Book Launch for Dr. Sara Goldrick-RabSeptember 26, 2016 - 6:00 pm
The College of Education will host a book launch to celebrate the release of Paying the Price: College Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American Dream by Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab, Professor of Higher Education Policy and Sociology at Temple University.
For nearly a decade, Goldrick-Rab tracked 3,000 young adults who entered public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008, with the goal of understanding college affordability and its impact on graduation rates. The results of that unprecedented and exclusive study are revealed in her eye-opening and alarming new book that shows with damning clarity that college students drop out overwhelmingly because they cannot afford the price.
Sara Goldrick-Rab is coauthor of Reinventing Financial Aid: Charting a New Course to College Affordability and has written on education issues for the New York Times, Chronicle of Higher Education, and other publications. Goldrick-Rab is currently a Professor of Higher Education Policy and Sociology at Temple University in Philadelphia, and is a former professor of higher education policy and sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the founding director of the Wisconsin HOPE Lab, the nation’s first laboratory aimed at improving equitable outcomes in postsecondary education. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently named her Twitter account (@saragoldrickrab) the most indispensable one to follow.
