Dr. Lindsay Page is a prolific researcher and scholar in education policy research.  Her research has significantly contributed to: 1) improving college access and success for students living in underserved areas 2) examination of school district policy and practice, and 3) using principal stratification to inform policy research. She has published extensively research in peer-reviewed journals and co-authored a significant book, Summer melt: Supporting low-income students through the transition to college.  This volume, much like her research publications, demonstrates her ability to use strong quantitative methods to address important educational policy issues, and to communicate effectively to multiple audiences, including policy makers, researchers and practitioners.
