Structural Equity: Big-Picture Thinking & Partnerships That Improve Community College Student Outcomes

While access to higher education has grown considerably for low-income students and students of color over the past decades, the rates at which those students succeed in completing or transferring to a four-year university remain low and have been slow to improve. This report describes how four successful community colleges have cultivated robust, cross-sector partnerships to create seamless educational pathways for students, and highlights three specific strategies the institutions have used to help eliminate structural barriers that perpetuate student success gaps along racial/ethnic and socioeconomic lines. Development of this guide was supported by the Lumina Foundation

Convergence for PDEs with an arbitrary odd order spatial derivative term

We compute the rate of convergence of forward, backward and central finite difference $\theta$-schemes for linear PDEs with an arbitrary odd order spatial derivative term. We prove convergence of the first or second order for smooth and less smooth initial data

Popular History, Postwar Liberalism, and the Role of the Public Intellectual in Richard Hofstadter's The American Political Tradition (1948)

This article examines the status of Richard Hofstadter's classic work The American political tradition (1948) as a 'popular history.' It uses documents drawn from Hofstadter’s personal papers, those of his publisher Alfred A. Knopf Inc., as well as several of his contemporaries, to pursue a detailed reconstruction of the manner in which the book was written, edited and reviewed, and to demonstrate how it circulated within, and was defined by, the literary culture of the 1940s and 1950s. The article explores Hofstadter’s early-career conception of himself as a scholar writing for audiences outside of the academy, reframes the significance of so-called 'middlebrow' literature, and, in doing so, offers a fresh appraisal of the links between popular historical writing, liberal politics, and the role of public intellectuals in the postwar United States

CALIBRATION, VERIFICATION, AND DIAGNOSIS OF A SEASON-AHEAD DROUGHT PREDICTION MODEL: LIMITS TO PREDICTABILITY IN CENTRAL TEXAS

The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface hydrology model was calibrated and verified for prediction of naturalized flows into the Highland Lakes system in central Texas. Using seasonal climate forecasts downscaled to daily precipitation, maximum and minimum temperatures, and wind speeds, the VIC model was run to generate ensemble inflow hindcasts for two seasons – March through June and July through October – corresponding to the period of 1960 through 2010. A diagnosis of the seasonal hindcast results determined that inflows are not as heavily influenced by the physical soil moisture state as expected, and that variability in statistical precipitation downscaling can combine with hydrologic model errors to degrade the skill in streamflow forecasts. Recommendations are made for future work to improve forecast skill
