Rural colleges and universities are more than a resource for students. They support and entire community by improving access to education and providing pathways to sustainable work.
The Chronicle, in partnership with Ascendium, has created a free resource center to share real-world student stories and practical advice on programs to offer extra support.
Highlights include:
- A video explainer on how a "rural college" is actually defined
- The STARS Network story— how a partnership of 16 top-tier institutions, including Vanderbilt, Columbia, and Ohio State, provides support to rural high-school seniors applying to colleges
- A multimedia case study on how Zane State College is preparing rural work forces for success.
