"Ensuring we are preparing students to not only enroll but also graduate from college requires us to take a hard look at the data we are using to guide our practices."

—Brian Harris, Postsecondary Program Manager at Percy L. Julian High School

Here at the To&Through Project, we work to make data accessible with an aim to inspire action. As a result, we’ve often had the honor of being privy to our colleagues’ personal reflections on the data we share, and their varying perspectives shape the way we think about this work.

Below, we share our colleagues' reflections on our Data Insights — which summarize years of research from the UChicago Consortium and To&Through Project — and their pushes for thinking about how students’ voices can inform our collective work to improve the system.
