College Success in a Day

Description:When researchers talk about college access, there's no question which issues they're discussing, nor is there any lack of data to grapple with. But when it comes to a related topic -- success once students make it to college -- it's not as clear what policy makers are referring to, or even if the term itself is meaningful. What is "college success"? A group of presidents and administrators grappled with the question on Monday at a panel assembled to coincide with the release of a new book, College Success: What It Means and How to Make It Happen, published this week by the College Board. Juan Williams of National Public Radio moderated the discussion, which featured the anthology's editors, Michael S. McPherson and Morton Owen Schapiro; the president of Miami Dade College's Homestead campus, Jeanne Jacobs; and Linda M. Clement, vice president for student affairs at the University of Maryland at College Park. Defining college success is a problem in the first place, agree the book's authors, because institutions of higher learning are so diverse, in terms not only of size, mission and location, but of the types of students who enroll and of their goals once they graduate. And unlike college access issues, looking at success in and after college requires statistics that in many cases don't exist -- or metrics whose utility may be disputed. "What college success means depends so much on what [kind of] college you're talking about and what students you're talking about," said McPherson, who is president of the Spencer Foundation and former president of Macalester College. He suggested that the best measures for college success would be specific but tailored to individual institutions. What that means, precisely, "each one can answer that question for themselves," he said.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
