Since its founding in 1986, the National Resource Center has published resources exploring the learning, success, and development of college students in transition, including a peer-reviewed empirical journal, newsletters, scholarly practice books, research monographs, and guides.
The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition publishes scholarly practice books, research reports, electronic newsletters, and a peer-reviewed research journal touching on a wide range of topics related to student learning, development, and success. We are committed to producing high-quality publications for scholars and practitioners interested in the first-year experience and students in transition. To that end, all manuscripts are subjected to editorial and peer review prior to acceptance for publication.
The core commitments that guide the larger work of the National Resource Center inform our approach as a small academic press. In particular, three of these values are central to our publishing efforts:
This guide is part of a series of action-oriented guides intended to blend research and practice to enhance the professional development and capacity of faculty and staff toward the ultimate goal of increasing the learning, development, transition, and success of students during their time in college or university.
This book serves as a resource for practitioners and institutional leaders. The volume presents a variety of interventions and institutional strategies for supporting the developmental and emotional needs of students on probation in the first year and beyond.
This report offers implications for research and practice by highlighting the ways in which institutional efforts and initiatives can be better designed for responsiveness based on differences in campus context, student backgrounds, and student needs.
