Oded Gurantz is Senior Policy Analyst for the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Their Communities at Stanford University. He conducts much of his work using the Youth Data Archive (YDA), an initiative that links data across schools, public agencies, and community organizations to improve policies and services for young people. Gurantz will discuss how YDA researchers have worked in collaboration with the City and County of San Francisco, the San Francisco Unified School District, and the City College of San Francisco to identify research questions and conduct analyses that lead to policy and programmatic decisions that promote postsecondary success for underrepresented students.
