Travis H Olson

I am a scholar of U.S. higher education policy who studies postsecondary student success efforts and the role of technology and data use in postsecondary governance. I utilize multiple methods and an interdisciplinary lens that draws from policy implementation literature, science and technology studies, and writings on the role of trust and vulnerability in organizational management. My research builds on professional experiences managing a national, philanthropically funded community college network designed to increase student success and my time as a student affairs professional focused on leadership development.
