The Company Behind the College Journey You Never Knew Had a Control Room
EAB has spent years turning the messy machinery of education into a connected business: part research desk, part software suite, part enrollment agency. Its real product is a wider field of view - from the first college search to the first job simulation.

Nat Malkus is a senior fellow and deputy director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, where he turns national datasets into arguments that policymakers can act on. He built the Return to Learn Tracker that mapped pandemic school closures and now follows the chronic absenteeism crisis it exposed, and he hosts The Report Card, AEI's education podcast. A former middle school teacher who once graded papers in Prince George's County, he now does his grading on the whole American school system - with the data to back it up.
