The Wheelhouse Research Collaboration Council (RCC) was formed in 2022 to help shape and advise our ongoing research into enrollment impacts and recovery strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. This work is supported by $3.6 million from the U.S. Institute for Education Sciences for the three-year Wheelhouse/CA Education Lab project titled Evidence to Inform Improvement: Supporting California Community Colleges in Pandemic Recovery.
