Black, Latino, first-generation, and low-income students are already underrepresented in colleges and universities. New The Century Foundation analysis finds that this year’s flawed FAFSA rollout will widen those gaps. bit.ly/3xA2hvO @PeterHGranville

We’re thrilled for today's designation of 12 regional tech hubs—including those in historically marginalized communities championed by TCF's coalition. This historic funding will bolster inclusive innovation & close participation gaps in critical industries. /1

Our Industry and Inclusion cohort is so excited for the new tech hub designations! Excited to learn about the inclusive talent creation and job growth in communities!

The effectiveness of an organization truly starts with the character and values of the leadership. Mark Zuckerman truly brings the joy to The Century Foundation with both. For five years, I have happiness and purpose when I come to work. Much gratitude to Mark and incredibly happy for you.
