Catherine Marie Champney

College Access: Research & Action’s mission is to ensure that first-generation college students, low-income students, and students of color have the knowledge and support necessary to enroll in and persist through post-secondary education. They work with high schools, community-based organizations, and higher education institutions to shift postsecondary guidance from being an “enrichment for some” to an “entitlement for all.” The Policy & Research Communications Specialist will amplify CARA’s impact by helping develop a strategic communications plan, telling CARA’s story across mediums, and translating research into more accessible formats. This role leverages the humanistic skills of interpretive analysis and clear and creative writing, including analyzing narratives, synthesizing complex ideas, and translating evidence for diverse audiences.
