Alaska Journal of Commerce reports on the Institute of Social and Economic Research teaming up with the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education to learn more about students as they enter college.
ISER researchers have a long history of studying education issues in Alaska, and in 2009, to emphasize ISER’s commitment to education research, the Center for Alaska Education Policy Research (CAEPR) was established as part of ISER.
