Using Longitudinal Research to Assess the Impact of Diversity on Undergraduate Students
Presenter(s): John Matlock, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor; Katrina C. Wade-Gold, University of Michigan
Colleges have received pressure for institutional change around issues of student equity and access. However, implementing initiatives directed toward increasing student diversity hasnÂąt been without challenges, including attacks in the courts. One strategy to defend diversity is to provide data-driven information which demonstrates the benefit of diversity to all students. Participants will learn how longitudinal research can be used to track student perceptions and experiences with diversity, and how this has provided substantial evidence of the benefits. |
 This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002. Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here. |
| Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well. |
