Examples of Assessment by Institution

Wellesley College:  In collaboration with six other liberal arts colleges, Wellesley has received funding from the Teagle Foundation for a panel study of the class of 2010.  The study focuses on how college students make the transition from high school to college; it will help the College better understand how students make decisions about their academic program and how they adjust to living in a residential college.  The first phase of the project was specifically about the first two years of college life, but it now includes study away and transitions after college.  The study is unique in using trained students to interview students.  The results of this project are being used by faculty and staff at Wellesley to develop and improve programs to support students, both academically and socially.
