Care Has Ripple Effects--Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab

Published: Jan. 12, 2020, 9 p.m.

Today I talk with Dr. Sara Goldrick-Rab, a passionate advocate for food and housing insecure college students . Sara is Professor of Higher Education Policy & Sociology at Temple University, and Founding Director of the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice in Philadelphia. She is also the Chief Strategy Officer for Emergency Aid at Edquity, a student financial success and emergency aid company, and founded Believe in Students, a nonprofit distributing emergency aid.

The Chronicle of Higher Education calls Sara “a defender of impoverished students and a scholar of their struggles."

I am honored to serve on board of the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice, along with some other amazing folks. Watching Sara do this work is an inspiration to all. To help Sara help struggling college students, donate to her Fast Fund.

Sara is best known for her innovative research on food and housing insecurity in higher education, having led the four largest national studies on the subject, and for her work on making public higher education free.
