Her study, “Can an Informational Intervention Increase Black, Latino, and Low-Income Student Participation in Advanced Placement Courses?,” examines what criteria, if any, high schools use to determine eligibility for AP coursework, and how that information is communicated. She will also explore whether students who attend high schools that provide information about the accessibility and benefits of AP have higher participation rates in AP relative to students who attend high schools that do not provide such information. Rodriquez will expand her expertise in designing and executing experimental studies to strengthen her ability to test policy solutions that directly shape college-going for marginalized populations. Mentoring activities will focus on recruitment into experimental trials, intervention design, and surveys.
