The value of residential Liberal Arts education: Lessons from COVID-19

The Next Generation Undergraduate Success Measurement Project, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is an exploratory project to develop and implement a state-of-the-art measurement project to improve our understanding of the value of undergraduate educational experiences, and promote evidence-based models of undergraduate student success. The research team will present the project framework and design, as well as preliminary findings about students’ academic achievement, academic engagement, mental health, and new challenges and responsibilities in times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
