First-Generation College Students; Rev. Kenneth Chalker

We've talked a lot about college access for disadvantaged students, but what about college persistence? A new report finds that students whose parents never attended college are not only less likely to enroll themselves, but more likely to drop out. We focus on first-generation college students.

And a long-time pillar of Cleveland's religious community retires after more than three decades, most recently at the helm of University Circle United Methodist Church. The Reverend Kenneth Chalker talks about his tenure behind the pulpit and his hopes for the future.
