Climbing a Broken Ladder
"Few studies have used long-term data on former foster youth to illuminate the challenges faced on the path toward college completion in such a balanced and confident way as Climbing a Broken Ladder. Okpych’s work straddles both social work and educational studies while greatly advancing both fields."
Jacob Paul Gross, University of Louisville

"Climbing a Broken Ladder provides a rigorous collection of observational studies that outline the key challenges foster alumni face in their post-secondary education journeys and speaks to critical solutions that child welfare and higher education authorities should heed. This is a wonderful example of a cross-disciplinary study that yields equal importance to the social work and educational fields."
