VIRTUAL INTERVIEW


 

Join Jason L. Koh, AB '90 as he interviews David Scherer, AB '93 about his work with One Million Degrees.

One Million Degrees accelerates community college students’ progress on career pathways to economic mobility.

 

Former HCC Board President and current candidate for HAA elected Director, David Scherer, discusses the work of One Million Degrees, an organization he co-founded in 2006 that accelerated social mobility through higher education.

 

“The American Dream is alive, but too many of our citizens have to overcome structural and economic barriers. What started out as grass roots effort to help dozens of worthy community college students has grown to empower thousands. One Million Degree’s remarkable students overcome so much on their path to success, and leave indelible impressions on us all.”

 

Join us as Dr. Jason Koh discusses why David founded One Million Degrees, and how the organization’s work has been externally validated by the University of Chicago’s Urban Labs in the largest randomized control trial ever conducted with community college students.
