THE CENTER EXAMINED A SERIES OF FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE THE DIRECTION POLICYMAKERS CAN TAKE RELATED TO FINANCIAL AID POLICY. REPORT ON COLLEGE-GOING AND COLLEGE ATTAINMENT IN NC: THE CENTER RELEASED A REPORT ON COLLEGE ATTAINMENT, ENTITLED "A STRONG ECONOMY THROUGH POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION." THE REPORT EXAMINED STRATEGIES TO INCREASE ATTAINMENT RATES AMONG SPECIFIC GROUPS OF STUDENTS WHO ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO FALLING SHORT OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROMISE.

WITHOUT EDUCATIONAL PARTICIPATION AND ACHIEVEMENT FROM NORTH CAROLINAS ENTIRE POPULATION, OUR STATE RISKS FALLING BEHIND IN OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY. HIGHER EDUCATION POLLING: THE CENTER CONDUCTED AN ONLINE STATEWIDE POLL IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER 2014 TO SURVEY OPINIONS ON NORTH CAROLINA ADULTS HIGHEST CREDENTIAL COMPLETED, STUDENT LOAN DEBT, AND REASONS WHY NORTH CAROLINIANS DO NOT COMPLETE THEIR DEGREE. SOME OF THE SURVEY RESULTS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INSIGHT INTO THE STATE-SPECIFIC STORY OF HOW INDIVIDUALS ARE PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION AND WHAT TYPES OF BARRIERS THEY ARE FACING. THE RESULTS OF THIS POLL WERE RELEASED IN 2015 AND THE FINDINGS ARE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT ON COLLEGE ATTAINMENT. IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES: IN 2015, THE CENTER CONTINUED TO EXTEND THE REACH OF OUR PREVIOUS WORK ON MENTAL HEALTH BY HIGHLIGHTING OUR REPORT ON TELEPSYCHIATRY ON OUR NEW JOURNAL WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA, UPDATING RESEARCH ON THE NUMBER OF PSYCHIATRISTS IN EACH NC COUNTY, AND BY DISTRIBUTING OUR RESEARCH TO LEGISLATORS AND ATTENDEES AT THE 37TH ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST ON MENTAL HEALTH.

ALZHEIMERS DISEASE IN NORTH CAROLINA: THE CENTER CONTINUED OUR RESEARCH ON ISSUES AFFECTING OUR AGING, WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON THE EFFECT ALZHEIMERS DISEASE HAS ON OUR SENIORS, THEIR CAREGIVERS, AND HOW THE RISE IN THE PREVALENCE OF THE DISEASE WILL AFFECT STATE PROGRAMS IN THE FUTURE. CITIZENS GUIDE TO THE LEGISLATURE APP AND MEASURES FOR EVALUATING LEGISLATORS PERFORMANCE: IN 2015, THE CENTER PRODUCED ARTICLE II: A CITIZENS GUIDE TO THE NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE AS AN APP, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN NORTH CAROLINA. WE ALSO PUBLISHED THE GUIDE AS A PDF. PUBLIC POLICY BOOT CAMPS TO INCREASE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND TRAIN CITIZENS HOW TO BE ADVOCATES: THE CENTER CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS IN CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR PUBLIC POLICY BOOT CAMP GEARED TOWARDS HELPING CITIZEN GROUPS BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICIES. THIS BOOT CAMP FOCUSES ON EVERYTHING FROM HOW TO GET AROUND IN THE LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, TO HOW TO CONTACT INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS USING OUR CITIZENS' GUIDE TO THE LEGISLATURE, TO HOW TO THINK STRATEGICALLY ABOUT PURSUING A CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICIES. THE BOOT CAMP WAS DISTRIBUTED BY CENTER STAFF TO LOCAL AND STATEWIDE CITIZEN GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS. LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION WORKSHOP LEADING ETHICALLY AND AUTHENTICALLY IN PUBLIC POLICY: THE CENTER, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNC PARR CENTER FOR ETHICS, HOSTED A LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION WORKSHOP ON THE UNC-CHAPEL HILL CAMPUS. THE DAY CONVENED LEADERS FROM THE BUSINESS, NONPROFIT, ACADEMIC, AND FOUNDATION FIELDS TO FOCUS ON A SHARED VISION OF AUTHENTIC AND ETHICAL PUBLIC POLICY LEADERSHIP.
