NISOD Innovation Abstracts Vol. XXVII, No. 18


In "The Big University: Belonging or Not," the authors described a successful partnership between their college and the University of Washington to increase the likelihood that community college students would transfer to the four-year institution successfully. Humanities instructor Minnie Collins, Sociology instructor Greg Hinckley, and Biology/Science instructor Elizabeth Campbell, at Seattle Central Community College (WA), describe an eleven-week prototype learning community that boosted students' confidence and excited them about making the traditionally intimidating transfer to the "big" university.
