Social Sciences Research Associate Ashweeta Patnaik attended the 5th annual SXSWedu conference held in Austin from March 9-12, 2015. This four-day event fosters innovation in learning by hosting a diverse and energetic community of stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds in education – including teachers, administrators, university professors, and business and policy leaders. This year, many of the sessions in the “Continuing Education & Workforce Development” and “Policy and Funding” strands focused on career pathways and linking education to employment. Ms. Patnaik also attended sessions focused on college access at the Getting to College Graduation Summit hosted by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
