| Abstract | When one hears the word "college", the first image one might have is of ivy-covered buildings on a tree-lined campus. The thing is, this image is largely inaccurate, and everyday it becomes further removed from reality. It belies the fact that less than 20 percent of today's college freshmen fit the traditional profile--that is, young people who graduate from high school and enroll immediately as full-time students at four-year residential institutions. It ignores millions of community college students, the ever-growing populations of adult students, displaced workers and part-time students. It overlooks the massive growth of online programs and institutions. Finally, this nostalgic image of "college" makes no room for anything less than a four-year degree. That omission is a critical shortcoming. This issue of "Lumina Foundation Focus" makes those facts come alive--through the stories of several real people in a particular place: Dayton, Ohio.
