How NEON Is Transforming College Access

This week on Office Hours with EAB, we sit down with the National Education Opportunity Network (NEON) to discuss the innovative work they’re doing to expand college access for students in Title I high schools. NEON’s model brings college-credit courses and academic support directly into classrooms through a coordinated team of university faculty, teaching fellows, and high school educators. We explore how this approach strengthens the transition to college, boosts enrollment and persistence, and why a growing number of universities are joining the effort.
