Sarah Cohodes and colleagues sought to answer this question by linking admissions lottery information to college data and employment information. ​Join us to engage in discussion about the first experimental evidence on whether charter schools affect earnings in adulthood. ### **Event registration is encouraged, but not required.** **Join us in person in Longfellow Hall.** - Seating is first-come, first-seated.
