Vanishing Graduates & Minnesota's Future is a documentary focusing on Scholarship America's home state of Minnesota, but the lessons in it are both universal and sobering. LearnmoreMN.org, an alliance of business, education and citizen leaders, has extensively studied the roots, causes and impacts of falling postsecondary graduation rates, and is working to reverse these worrisome trends; Vanishing Graduates is a powerful look at the state of higher education, and valuable viewing for anyone interested in learning how to face them head-on.

The entire documentary as well as a series of clips is available here, and is also airing on Twin Cities Public Television on May 11. You can also request a DVD of the program, and discuss the show as well as other Learnmore initiatives at the LearnmoreMN Blog.
