Dr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams is a Senior Research Associate at MDRC in the Postsecondary Education Division. Her research focuses on socially just, student-centered assessment, evaluation, and institutional effectiveness in postsecondary education, particularly as it relates to access, persistence, and retention of historically marginalized students, faculty, and staff. Specifically, Dr. Dorime-Williams’ work examines the role of assessment and evaluation in improving student learning environments, as well as the impact of underrepresented students’ identities on engagement, learning, and other educational outcomes. At the macro level, her work explores how assessment can support institutional effectiveness and encourage outcomes that are more equitable for marginalized students in higher education.
