Lindsey P. Myers is the director of the Learner Success Lab
at the American Council on Education (ACE). In this role, she leads efforts to
develop a program that will guide institutions through a strategic planning
process to maximize student persistence and completion and ensure that learners
acquire the skills necessary for success in today's workforce.
Myers brings extensive teaching, research, and higher education
leadership experience to her work with ACE. She teaches sociology and
interdisciplinary courses in a variety of institutional settings (public and
private, two-year and four-year, selective and open-enrollment, research and
teaching-focused) and instructional formats (face-to-face, hybrid, online,
accelerated). Her research touches on a number of social institutions and how
they intersect, including education, the criminal justice system, and the labor
market. Myers has also held positions in higher education administration where
she was responsible for evaluating credit programming, institutional research,
and academic and co-curricular assessment.
A first-generation college graduate, Myers earned her PhD in
sociology from The Ohio State University, as well as an MBA in marketing and a
BS in sociology, both from York College of Pennsylvania.
