The Cowen Institute equips leaders and practitioners with skills and resources to increase educational and postsecondary success among New Orleans students.
We contextualize data and provide thought leadership.
We research New Orleans’ public education school system — the most decentralized in America — and share our findings in an unbiased, accessible way for members of our community and nationwide. We also use direct public engagement, advocacy, and strategic initiatives to frame discussions on the future of public and higher education.
We build capacity among educational leaders and practitioners.
The Cowen Institute fosters collaboration and leads professional development for high school counselors, practitioners, and youth-serving organizations to increase college and career access, persistence, and success for New Orleans youth. We lead the College and Career Counseling Collaborative, the New Orleans College Persistence Collaborative, the New Orleans Data Collaborative, and the New Orleans FAFSA Campaign. We also share data and host convenings aimed at increasing post-secondary outcomes for New Orleans youth.
