John Fink, Senior Research Associate

Community College Research Center (CCRC) at

Teachers College, Columbia University

John Fink co-authored The Transfer Playbook and was a recipient of

the 2019 NISTS Transfer Champion–Catalyst Award. His research seeks
to uncover structural barriers within higher education that result in

inequitable access to educational and economic opportunity for racially
minoritized, low-income, and first-generation students. He focuses on

how educational institutions can change to produce more equitable

outcomes, and he prioritizes applying findings to inform efforts to
improve community college effectiveness. Fink's research has been

published in the Journal of Higher Education, Community College
Review, Journal of American College Health, Journal of Student Affairs

Research & Practice, New Directions for Student Services, and
the NASPA Journal About Women in Higher Education.
