In that capacity, he serves as the lead staff person working for the Steering Committee of CHSA, and as their lead advocate. Alex has provided support to policymakers in 26 states to help them design policy solutions to advance college access and success through college in high school programs, and he is the lead author of a number of CHSA’s publications, including most recently The Next Phase of Dual Enrollment Policy: A Vision for the Field.
