Attracting rural students to college

A report in The Rural Educator, as discussed here at Education Week, notes that certain factors are beneficial in helping rural students pursue a college education: college visits and college-test preparation workshops.

Welcome to this blog

I have been granted the honor of teaching an Honors-level course in "Rural Issues in the News" at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, possibly in Spring 2013. This blog will be used to provide articles and links of interest to students who take the course, as well as anyone who wishes to follow the issues that the class will study.
