    Paul Attewell and David E. Lavin ; in collaboration with Thurston Domina and Tania Levey

  • Publication Details

    Book, Russell Sage Foundation, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Comparing the record of the CUNY alumnae to peers nationwide, the authors find that when women from underprivileged backgrounds go to college, their children are more likely to succeed in school and earn college degrees themselves. Mothers with a college degree are more likely to expect their children to go to college, to have extensive discussions with their children, and to be involved in their children’s schools. As the first study to indicate that increasing access to college among today’s disadvantaged students can reduce educational gaps in the next generation, Passing the Torch makes a powerful argument in favor of college for all.
