(Audio) Laura Perna: How to help college students who work — from The Chronicle
Many undergraduates work to support themselves during college, but institutions sometimes struggle to support those students. Laura W. Perna, an associate professor of higher education at the University of Pennsylvania, has edited a new book on that topic, and she offers advice on what colleges can do better.
The book, Understanding the Working College Student: New Research and Its Implications for Policy and Practice, is to be released by Stylus Publishing on February 26.
