Building upon the momentum of this series, the higher education team at The Hunt Institute has created a follow-up series of briefs that further explore the intersection between equity and efforts to raise postsecondary attainment rates.  \nThis brief is the second of the three-part Attainment for All: Equity in Postsecondary Pathways series. The first brief explored the idea of embedding equity in postsecondary attainment, identified barriers to achieving equity, and included examples of states’ work to ensure equity in all aspects of postsecondary attainment. This second brief will examine the importance of wraparound services that provide equitable support to students. The series will conclude with a third brief examining the use of disaggregated data to narrow equity gaps in postsecondary education.  \nNote: throughout this issue brief, various terms are used to refer to different racial and ethnic groups. The use of different terms is intended to accurately reflect the framing used in the methodologies of the various underlying studies cited.  \n􀀟 TODAY’S HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS  \nAs higher education leaders think about more effective strategies to raise postsecondary attainment rates, it is vital that efforts and policies to support student completion address the unique needs of today’s students. While postsecondary students have historically been recent high school graduates from middle-to-upper class families, student demographics have become more diverse over time (Figure 1) . Additionally, racial demographics have shifted over the past two decades, with nearly 45 percent of undergraduate students and nearly a third of graduate student being people of color.  \n FIGURE 1: CHARACTERISTICS OF TODAY ’ S HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT POPULATION  \nData Source  \n􀀟 WHY DO WE NEED WRAPAROUND SERVICES?  \nAs the first Attainment for All: Equity in Postsecondary Pathways brief discusses, low-income, first-generation,  \nnon-traditional, and students of color are often less likely to access higher education and attain postsecondary credentials due to systemic barriers across the education landscape. In fact, over 80 percent of high-income students enroll in comparison to 68 percent of low-income students. Across all students enrolled, nearly one-third of undergraduates across the nation do not remain enrolled after their first year, and many require six years to complete their degrees.  \n1  \nATTAINMENT FOR ALL: POSTSECONDARY PATHWAYS Centering Equity in Wraparound Student Services  \nStudents who do not complete their degrees on-time are more likely to accumulate student loan debt and are not able to realize the earnings benefits that come with a postsecondary degree. Further, persistence and retention rates are linked to racial and ethnic gaps across the nation, with Black and Latinx students persisting and retaining at lower levels than their white counterparts. Wraparound services are critical to increasing the retention and persistence rates of students.  \n􀀟 WHAT ARE WRAPAROUND SERVICES?  \nWraparound services were founded on the medical practice of systems of care, in wh","cbCaii4ocGDwpfic","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii4ocGDwpfic","pdf",1083505,"English","# Introduction\n## Today’s Higher Education Students\n## Why Do We Need Wraparound Services?\n## What Are Wraparound Services?","[{\"question\":\"Why does the brief argue that wraparound services are needed for postsecondary attainment?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that systemic barriers reduce access and completion for low-income, first-generation, non-traditional, and students of color.
