National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition

Research

The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition provides insight and thought leadership on how institutions of higher education support successful and equitable student transitions.

We are committed to crafting and conducting high-quality research that expands our understanding of transitions. We achieve this by engaging in inquiry on a wide range of student success supports including, but intentionally beyond, The First-Year Experience; contributing and pushing conversation on creating equitable higher education environments supporting student transitions; and disseminating information gathered through research to create spaces for conversation that will intentionally connect research to practice.
