ERDC is in the process of formulating a postsecondary data strategy to guide how we identify, harmonize, and represent postsecondary data. Over the last few months, we've been reviewing data, standards, best practices, and reports, working to create a postsecondary data framework and a set of recommendations to guide current and future postsecondary data efforts. (Our strategy work is supported by Gates Foundation funding.) 

Now, over the next few months, we want to meet with our partners to share information about this process and gather feedback. Consider attending a feedback session or office hour. Office hours are drop-in. You can also leave feedback via our Comment Box.
