Abstract | "Opening Doors, Changing Futures" tells the story of the collective impact the Appalachian Higher Education (AHE) Network had on postsecondary education attainment in 10 of the 13 states in Appalachia during school years 2011-2016. It depicts the current economic and education contexts in the region and highlights why increased post-high school education and training attainment is so important to the region and its current and future workforce. Program data and personal narratives emphasize how the AHE Network is investing in Appalachia's future by providing a range of services and partnering with families, institutions, and communities to increase postsecondary education access, success, and attainment. The report offers strategic actions that, if taken, will enable these stakeholder groups to provide even greater support to students. "Opening Doors, Changing Futures" concludes with two important messages: it takes collective efforts and collaborative actions among all stakeholders to prepare students to take advantage of and succeed in postsecondary education, and it takes time. The report is designed to motivate readers to leverage their partnerships and step-up their efforts to increase postsecondary education opportunity and attainment in Appalachia. The AHE Network is an initiative created and supported by the Appalachian Regional Commission and managed by the Institute for Educational Leadership.
