ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Arel Moodie
BusinessWeek said that Arel Moodie “teaches young people that anything is possible.”
Inc. Magazine called Arel Moodie a “High-Energy Motivator” and he was named to their
prestigious 30 Under 30 list naming him one of the country’s top young entrepreneurs,
joining people like Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook. Essence Magazine said that
“Arel Moodie should be the poster boy for rags-to-riches stories…He is America’s Top
Young Speaker.” Black Enterprise Magazine named Arel Moodie as a “Tycoon Under
35.” The New York Times & USA Today recognized Arel Moodie as a Top Generation Y
Entrepreneur. The prestigious St. Gallen Symposium in Switzerland named Arel as one of
the 100 future business leaders in the world. Arel Moodie was recognized by President
Obama for his work as a young leader in America. Arel is the bestselling author of Your
Starting Point for Student Success, a book not about helping students go to college, but
more importantly, helping students to successfully go THROUGH college in order to truly
succeed in school and in life.
Arel grew up on welfare in the projects of Brooklyn, NY where he witnessed those around
him being murdered and imprisoned. Seeing college as his “way out”, Arel took advantage
of his college opportunity to the fullest. He started his first successful internet company
while in college, and served as president of four different student organizations. Arel’s
college named him “The Most Outstanding Graduating Senior.”
Peter Bahr
In his research, Peter Riley Bahr seeks to deconstruct students’ pathways into, through,
and out of community colleges and into the workforce or on to four-year postsecondary
institutions. His recent work is focused particularly on students’ course-taking and enrollment
patterns in the community college and their subsequent labor market outcomes, such as
employment and earnings, as well as the impact of students’ varied patterns of coursetaking and enrollment on the assessment of community college performance. Bahr joined
the faculty of the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the
University of Michigan in the fall of 2009. He previously held a faculty appointment in the
Department of Sociology at Wayne State University (2004-2009), a research appointment
in the Chancellor’s Office of the California Community Colleges (2001-2003), and a
research appointment in the California Department of Education (2000-2001). He received
his PhD in Sociology from the University of California-Davis.
Kathy Booth
Kathy Booth is a senior research associate at WestEd where she focuses on translating
research findings so that practitioners can apply them to pressing concerns and facilitating
opportunities for community college leaders to develop action plans based on evidence.
Her current projects address strengthening data systems that measure success in career
technical education, identifying non-completion pathways that yield a family-sustaining
wage, and examining equitable approaches to building college readiness. Previously,
she served as the executive director of the Research and Planning Group for California
Community Colleges (RP Group) where she facilitated statewide meetings, created
practitioner-focused briefs on community college reform strategies, and envisioned
professional development approaches that encourage practitioners to integrate research
into institutional improvement efforts. Before joining the RP Group she worked with the @
ONE Project, where she managed a fellowship program that enabled faculty to conduct
research in their own classrooms and developed multi-day trainings on the use of technology

college issues and two handbooks on building collaborations to further social change.
