    The Talent Blind Spot: The Case for Increasing Community College Transfer to High Graduation Rate Institutions
    Fresquez, Benjamin; LaViolet, Tania; Maxson, McKenzie; Wyner, Joshua S. (American Talent Initiative, 2018-06-27)

This article makes a case for increasing community college transfer to high graduation rate institutions.
