Book Description
For nearly 40 years, the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) has produced projections of high school graduates. The purpose of "Knocking at the College Door: Projections of High School Graduates" is to equip decision-makers at all levels with information about how the numbers of high school graduates are likely to change in the years ahead. These projections inform a broad audience; stakeholders including policymakers, elected officials and their staffs, state departments of education and higher education, postsecondary system heads, K-12 and school district leaders, administrators at public and private colleges and universities, researchers, policy organization staff, media, and others rely on them for a broad variety of uses. This 9th edition of "Knocking at the College Door" spans school years 2000-01 through 2031-32. As in previous editions, it examines data on public and private schools and projects the number of high school graduates for the nation, four geographic regions, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia. For the first time, WICHE also includes projections for Guam and Puerto Rico. Finally, "Knocking" also presents projections for public high school graduates, disaggregated by race/ethnicity. The following are appended: (1) High School Graduate Data Tables; (2) High School Enrollment Data Tables; and (3) Technical Information and Methodology. [For the 8th edition of this report, see ED540129.].

Book Description
The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) has been producing high school graduate forecasts for over 30 years. This publication marks the eighth edition in the series, covering the period from 1996-97 through 2027-28, with projections starting with graduates of the 2009-10 academic year. WICHE is proud to produce these projections by state and race/ethnicity, which have become a trusted source of information for a wide and diverse audience of policymakers, enrollment managers, college counselors, schools and school districts, researchers, and the media. As in the past this edition updates the projections for graduates of both public and nonpublic high schools for the nation, four geographic regions, and each of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Projections disaggregated by race/ethnicity are also available for public high school graduates. This publication includes detailed analysis of the data for the nation and the four regions. WICHE's principal goal in generating these projections is to equip decision makers at all levels with information about how the supply of high school graduates is likely to change in the years ahead. Such information is crucial for planning and policymaking, to ensure that educational opportunities beyond high school are both widely available and of high quality. Appended are: (1) Data Tables; and (2) Technical Information. (Contains 66 figures, 20 tables, and 59 endnotes.).

Book Description
“Science has a battle for hearts and minds on its hands….How good it feels to have Lisa Randall’s unusual blend of top flight science, clarity, and charm on our side.” —Richard Dawkins “Dazzling ideas….Read this book today to understand the science of tomorrow.” —Steven Pinker The bestselling author of Warped Passages, one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and one of Esquire’s “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,” Lisa Randall gives us an exhilarating overview of the latest ideas in physics and offers a rousing defense of the role of science in our lives. Featuring fascinating insights into our scientific future born from the author’s provocative conversations with Nate Silver, David Chang, and Scott Derrickson, Knocking on Heaven’s Door is eminently readable, one of the most important popular science books of this or any year. It is a necessary volume for all who admire the work of Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Brian Greene, Simon Singh, and Carl Sagan; for anyone curious about the workings and aims of the Large Hadron Collider, the biggest and most expensive machine ever built by mankind; for those who firmly believe in the importance of science and rational thought; and for anyone interested in how the Universe began…and how it might ultimately end.

Book Description
This book is premised on a very powerful social/educational concern about college retention rates: one-third of first-year students seriously consider leaving college during their first term, and only half of all students who start college ultimately graduate. This book examines the first year of college from a variety of perspectives to paint a comprehensive picture of the intersecting challenges facing today's students and higher education institutions. Technological advances, increases in college attendance costs, and increasing political pressure on colleges to prove their value have changed the landscape of the first year of college, but researchers have identified new approaches to improve student and institutional success that have shown considerable success and promise. In this comprehensive volume, top educational researchers explore topics of student success, persistence, and retention in the first year of college.

Book Description
"Higher education is in the midst of an extraordinary moment of demographic, economic, and cultural transition that has significant implications for how colleges and universities understand their mission, their market, and their management. This book is aimed at creating a practical understanding of key forces changing higher education, but it goes further. It describes those trends, discusses the real life impact of those trends on campuses, and then lays out concrete steps required to address them. Taking a page from George Keller's classic Academic Strategy, management consultant and college administrator Jon McGee uses these economic and demographic trends to inform his strategic approach to managing schools"--
