High school graduation represents a pivotal milestone in a young person’s journey, as the choices made during this time often determine the course of their future. The Cowen Institute released its first Life After High School report in 2019 to explore the education and employment pathways of New Orleans youth ages 16 to 24.Over the past six years, we’ve continued to chronicle the postsecondary employment and educational outcomes for New Orleans public high school graduates. Building off our previous reports, Life After High School 2025 report examines the economic and educational realities facing young New Orleanians. Cowen Institute Director of Policy, Data, and Communications will present on the latest findings from this year’s report.

Per usual, this is 100% complimentary to the college access community (you!). As it is officially Mardi Gras season, we will have delicious king cakes for you to sample and fresh coffee available.

Validated parking for the attached garage will be provided.
