We were absolutely honored to provide 110 period kits for the Kalamazoo Promise's "Her Promise" event. We are thankful the #KalamazooPromise understands that access to period products is one of the many things our high schoolers need to do their best.

Abstract: This study used a difference-in-differences approach to examine the effects of The Kalamazoo Promise (KPromise) on college stopout during students’ first year of postsecondary enrollment, a stopout at any time, reenrollment after a stopout, and credential completion after a stopout. Results indicated that for Promise-eligible high school graduates who started college within 12-months, KPromise decreased first-year stopout for all students by -16% - which included strong effects for female students and students of color. Additionally, KPromise produced a considerable increase in first year stopout for white students (+30%). Overall stopout declined post-Promise (-70%) and the effect was consistently negative across all subgroups. KPromise also led to an overall increase in student return after a stopout (+14%); however, there was a negative effect for students of color (-74%). For students that experienced a stopout and later returned to college, KPromise produced an increase in credential attainment (+38%) by 10 years from high school graduation. Attainment effects were relatively consistent across the studied groups. Although generally non-significant, our findings suggest that KPromise is overall helping students persist, encouraging some students to reengage, and revealing that some gaps in persistence and completion remain between racial, gender, and socioeconomic groups.
After a few years of letting this sit on the shelf - I am finally looping around to getting this #DiffinDiff #KalamazooPromise paper focused on stop out, reenrollmet, and degree attainment within 10 years cleaned up with some updates, and back in cycle.
@isabelmcmullen.bsky.social - updates soon.
My friends at the @upjohninstitute.bsky.social recently released a dashboard for the #KalamazooPromise.
Check it out!

Besides my student loan debt work...
I had a recent publication with some great people on the various experiences of #KalamazooPromise students based on racial groups.
This expanded on my former SEM work on KPromise students.

First up - "A promise kept for whom? College access, success, and the limits of race-neutral tuition-free programs."
We use #CRT and #QuantCrit to explore outcomes of #KalamazooPromise students.
