Matt Walen and Pat Irish were the first THS students in the program, having been selected in AprH, 1973. Rose Mary Gorski was accepted in time for a six-week program this summer. _ Upward Bound is defined as an educational, social and cultural program for high school juniors and seniors whose families' economic and educa­ tional resources are limited. Acting to motivate the students, the project helps with tutoring and activities to supplement the individual's experiences. The main aim of the program is to guide the student toward a post-secondary education. During President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty in the 1960*s, people became aware that the school system does not meet the needs of students on a lower economic level, and that the socio-economic background of the students has a direct bearing on their achievement. To correct the balance of educa­ tion and inequality, several acts were passed by Congress. From these acts came the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the Upward Bound project. The present director is Sister Barbara Craig, who taught foreign languages at College Misericordia. Helping her are secretary Peggy Hutsko, assist­ ant Shawn. Murphy and Ed Johnson. For the present 54 students, there have been many ac­ tivities. A few of them have been to a Hnancial aid seminar at Wilkes, a week end at Camp Acahela in the Poconos, a trip to Bloomsburg State College and Fair, and a communications workshop and tour of the Wilkes-Barre Campus of Penn State Umvosityr 侦冷3 . �JUNE 13. 1974 _ 28 of Upward Bound Jo Get Certifcate t Dr. Francis J.

Acaus Editor: ----I've been told many times that one voice can't make a difference, and that fighting for what's right should be left up to those with names to remember. However if I believed that kind of nonsense, this letter would never get written. Project Upward Bound is on the chopping block, and Congress is deciding whether education programs for the underprivileged are causing too many headaches for 匹 5 government. x Wedl it may seei em senthose who want'less sible to start with programs that help t； an 。一 -rteens see that education is important and that learning gives you power, after all these programs don't affect those of us already in the workforce. However, in the long rrun anytime you cut education you*re cutting your own throat Upward Bound is a voice that gives hope, and pro) romises that with effort and hard work you can be a colie llege graduate no matter what your income or backgrou, sund -»holds against you. Anne Thomas, director of Project Upward Bound at Wilkes UNversitv and al】 the staff and teachers that tec share their time and experience with teens should only be commended and helped to continue this goal of keep)ung people in school, and off the streets. en I was 15 years old the only goal I had in life was to grow up and getout of the house. I had no idea how to go about it, and classes at school''' were too crowded for a teacher to take time our to help cone n, individ"mdividua].1 Anne Thomas opened the door to a futureeII thought was fiction, especially for a girl growing rowing up in a project. She read my poetry, yelled at me when I took more m interest in boys than my tutorial in algebra, listened when I said I was afraid and reminded me to send our college ad­ mission forms. She fought with me when I said *'I can't" and crossed her fingers when I said "I'll tty" and when I stood up,on graduation day with wit 30 other diploma,she said,, Upward Boundi students to accept my diploma, .....is....... “ the "I knew vnu you cn could do ...... it." This woman still doing same with more students every year, and now 比弓厂一 ernment is saying this is not an important job, ttiat program is not worth saving and that teens can fend for themselves, after all, they dcnl vote.

Upward survival in the the most recent recent !?budget battle represents a significant hurdle deared. ,Since its inception three decades ago, Upward Bound has proven its worth. Students who thought college was out of reach have become Rhodes scholars, doctors and attorneys. Wth the support of Upward Bound and several related programs under the rubric TRIO, families have hoisted themselves out of poverty. This week the House Appropriations subcommittee on labor, health, human services and education voted to preserve TRIO's $463 mfllion in funding for next year 一 a departure from the deep cuts approved in other programs. However, TRIO's opponents in the House and Senate still have chances to cut .or scuttle it ■ In addition to Upward Bound, TRIO includes e ‘ e ‘. which identifies promising ，一」二王一 n__y Talent Search, students as early as sixth grade and helps them maximize their potential; educational opportunity centers, which help students fill out coDege and financial aid applications; and student support services, which helps students get through college. With all all the the talk talk of ofproviding providing colorblind, colorblind, needneedWith based educational opportunities, TRIO programs should be ripe for expansion. Participation is limited to students whose parents have not graduated from college and whose incomes fall below $24,000 for a family of four. Forty-two percent of the participants are white, 35 percent are black and 15 percent are Hispanic. Those who have called for the elimination of TRIO's programs suggest that school guidance counselors and parents should fill the void. They ignore the fact that even with the best intentions, parents who have not attended college may be hard pressed to provide the support their children need. Many students in these programs attend schools where where guidance guidance counselors counselors are are overburoverburschools dened.

Arnold L. Mitchem, Ph.D. Executive Director �The ChangiEig View of Intelligence: Implications for Compensatory Education By Thomas J. Thomas, Jr. Abstract Thomas J. Thomas, Jr. is Program Counselor and History Instructor of the Wilkes University Upward Bound. Program. Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Mr. Thomas has been, on the staffsofthe Wilkes University Upward. Bound Program since 1979. Spring 1992 TRIO personnel hauegenerally operacedfrom, the assumption thacpast academic performance is only one indicator of intelligence. Recent re­ search on. the nature of intelligence provides the evidence we require to support this view. The author introduces some of the research relevant to a broader con­ ception of intelligent behauior and explores options Jbr incorporating theseJindings in. our work with stu­ dents. Readers are encouraged co consider these studies and create additional options appropriate to specific programs. COUNSELING RECORD: NAME: Ruth A. Ninth Grade GPA: 2.54 ••Summer. 1988 Metwith Ruth for career guidance. Discussed her er performance pe (3.3 in 10th grade) and asked her inter­ pretation ofsuch improvement. She described how. at the end of 9th grade, she saw the seniors at graduation who were in the National Honor Society—he "loved those neat gold cords." After finding out what they were, she decided she wanted to wear them when she graduated. So this pastyear she remained In college prep and took the same classes as the "smart kids." She also thought this would help her to become an engineer. ••Fall. 1988 Ruth stopped by to ask me to review her speech for President of Student Government. Talked briefly about Advanced Placement classes next year in school. ••Spring, 1989 Met with Ruth to discuss her college plans. She thinks her SAT score of 740 (290 verbal) is too low for someone wishing to be an engi­ neer. I explained that one test score is not necessarily an Indication of her potential and she would have more opportunities to take the exam. She made Honor Society, though! She almost forgot to tell me. ••Fall. 1989 Ruth is discouraged about ap­ plying to engineering programs. After all, she asked, how smart can she be if, after three attempts, her board scores did not correspond more closely with her friends who had similar grades in school? I pointed out that past performance is the best indication of future performance. We also discussed the significance of her leadership roles both in school and in Upward Bound—as well as President of Stu­ dent Government. ••Spring. 1990 Rudi will attend Penn State Uni­ versity. She is still doubtful of her ability to do college work because of her low SATs. I reminded her that "dumb" students don't get a B in Calculus and A's in Advanced Chemistry II and Advanced Physics II. And they don't graduate with -gold cords." I concluded our session by telling her how impressed I was by the methodical way she achieved her academic goals. Including mem­ bership in the National Honor So­ ciety. I reminded her that this was indeed a measure of a high level of intelligence and that she could be­ come a successful student in col­ lege. She did not appear convinced. Does this report sound familiar? Like many educators associated with compensatory programs, you. too. may have long assumed a broader concept of intelligence­ even if this position was anchored �more in faith than in research. Some even argue that the very Idea of equal access to higher education Is rooted in the socio-economic and cultural traditions within the study of intelligence. The time may be right to consider formally how our students might benefit from the expanding view of what constitutes intelligence. Re­ cently. the NCEOA Journal intro­ duced readers to one such proposal with Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences (Grow. 1987). Professor Robert J. Stemberg of Yale University also has proposed an expanded view of intelligence with his Triarchic Theory (Trotter. 1986). Their research seeks to res­ cue ,'intelligence" from the confines "The time may be right to consider formally how our students might benefit from the expanding view of what consti­ tutes intelligence.n of fixed IQ and to elevate other aspects of Intelligent behavior to a level worthy of study alongside ■"academic intelligence." And it Is here, in the relationship between ■practical" and academic Intelli­ gence. that we find special signifi­ cance fbr compensatory education (Neisser. 1979). The Role of ig in Identifying Students for Compensatory Programs To what extent do we use IQ tests or 引milarly constructed Instru­ ments when selecting students to receive compensatory services? What leads us to conclude that an 6 applicant is an "underachiever"? What does the relationship between IQ. or other standardized instru­ ments. and GPA really tell us? Ad­ mittedly. these are broad questions, but the answers affect the students selected to receive services, as well as those not chosen. TRIO programs have tended to go beyond the constraints of test re­ sults when Judging an applicant's potential to profit from our services. Guidance counselors and teachers have provided us with valuable ob­ servations that have often taken into account factors such as moti­ vation and persistence. Therefore, as research continues to support a more elastic definition of intelligence, we should be ready to incorporate instruments designed specifically to measure "beyond IQ" (Stemberg, 1985). Meanwhile, we could benefit from research show­ ing how intelligence is manifested in activities beyond classroom ex­ aminations. We could specify the kinds of student-behavior that in­ dicate potential: or we could develop recommendation forms that lead counselors and teachers to make the kinds ofobservations that reflect an expanded view of intelligence. Preparing Students for a Novel Experience If mental self-management is the primary goal ofour intelligence, then the implications reach far beyond the classroom. Measuring this as­ pect of intelligence involves ob­ serving our attempts to deal with novelty. A new situation or problem requires us to draw upon our ex­ periences while simultaneously searching for new constructs in order to find possible solutions. For our members, college is that novel experience demanding appropriate responses In order to succeed. Consider the following examples of how some of our members re­ sponded to this novel experience. Gary, the seventh ranked student In his high school class, had ad­ vanced science courses and S.A.T. scores of over L100. Six years later he barely earned a degree because his attempts to solve famiiy\x | j| personal problems were anythin/, $ but successful. In fact, to an Impartial observer. It would appear as if i Gary Intentionally constructed barriers to his own success. Marie entered college with a fine record In high school and S.A.T. scores over 1200. Distracted by personal problems and poor deci­ sion-making. she finished her first semester with a below average record. In her second semester, she allowed personal problems to In- i lensify the strain in her family re­ lationships, and attempted to escape them through alcohol. She never returned for her sophomore year. Tammy. Marie's classmate, had a similar high school record butS.A.T. scores only slightly above average. , Despite personal problems and a stressful family situation, she earned her undergraduate degree with honors and a master's degree from a prestigious university. Al­ though their academic differences appeared slight, the outcome was understandable to teachers who : worked with these students. You see. although it could not be mea­ sured in classroom examinations, Tammy "had her act together." These experiences represent the important relationship between practical and academic intelligence. Tammy's success demonstrates Ulric Neisser's definition of practicalintelligence: "responding appro­ priately in terms ofone's long-range and short-range goals, given the actual facts of the situation as one discovers them" {qtd. in Wagner & Stemberg. 1985). Meanwhile. Gary and Marie are examples of "aca­ demic intelligence" without the full support of its practical side. Intelligent behavior Ln this regard i Is not easy to define, but we know it j when we see it. Perhaps we recog­ nize it most by its absence, such as in those who lack common sense, are poor decision-makers, or seem ： to "have no brains." Many people , believe that intelligence in this re-, gard is something you either have or you don't. Professor Sternberg's studies of tacit-knowledge are challenging that belief NCEOA Journal �-. . facit-Knowledge Can Be Taught Tacit-knowledge includes those ■tactics." though seldom cirticulated. that allow us to succeed In various environments. For example, tacitknowledge leads us to conduct our­ selves diiTerently at a philharmonic than at a rock concert. Tacitknowledge is the knowledge that efiective teachers possess and uti­ lize. but is difTlcultto develop within teacher training programs. Tacitknowledge is used by students to decide how much (or little) effort to apply to a course in order to get by with a passing grade. Tacit-knowl­ edge also plays an important role for a first-generation college student who must make the transition from high school to college. Therefore, I propose that the less academically prepared fbr college a student is. the more important practical intelligence becomes. Academically prepared students have more room fbr poor judgment and more time to adjust before the consequences become serious. If we suppose, in the above example, that Gary's past performance was slightly below average, or Tammy lacked the practical "sense" to uti­ lize a support system and to keep personal problems in perspective, their experiences may have been quite difierenc Compensatory education pro­ grams have generally been suc­ cessful in preparing members for the interpersonal and intrapersonal transition to college. We mediate the higher education experience for our members during campus visits, pre-college summer residential programs, and personal counsel­ ling sessions during the flrstyear or two of matriculation. Many pro­ grams oiler group counseling ses­ sions. classes, or seminars designed to prepare members directly for their transition to college. Research on improving tacit-knowledge may prove valuable in our attempt to assist our members who generally do not have the experience of a parent who doubles as a live-ln " tutor and academic guide. Encouraged by research demon­ nimuuiiuuuuuuuuuuuaouuuuuuiiuuuunDBBUV sCrating the relationship of tacitknowledge to Job performance. Howard Gardner and Robert Stemberg have developed a program that improves school performance by directly teaching the knowledge that is usually only implied in the curriculum (Stemberg et al.. 1990). This "Practical Intelligence for School" Program (PIFS). which as­ similates their Multiple Intelligences and Triarchic Theories. may provide us with an additional model to guide those students experiencing aca­ demic difficulty. Research on practical intelligence may also prove useful to our aca­ demic guidance components. For example, findings suggest that In­ telligent people learn to capitalize on their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses (Stemberg. 1988). Assisting our members to do this is a major objective of career guidance. Seen this way. the choice of a career is viewed as selecting the environment where our personal and academic strengths can maxi­ mize our chance fbr success. At the very least, our students should re­ alize the role that formal schooling plavs in helping them compensate for their weaknesses. Metacognition: The Bridge Between Academic and Practical Intelligence ...__ __一 of the classroom, the In or out common denominator of intelligent behavior is metacognition, the f higher order mental processes> we utilize to monitor our thinking. Some classroom examples include monitoring and controlling of our attitudes and attention, and execu­ tive control of behavior as it relates to academic activities (Marzano et al., 1988). Metacognitive processes in general include recognizing the existence of a problem, defining the problem, developing a plan to solve the problem, and monitoring the solution (Sternberg. 1988). Therefore, teaching our students to monitor their thinking may pro­ vide us with the bridge between the classroom and their ~real world." While the types of problems differ teaching our students to moni­ tor their thinking may provide us with the bridge between the classroom and their 'real world.，n significantly, intelligent classroom behavior can be related to intelligent behavior in life situations. Helping our students to understand this relationship may motivate some to monitor their problem-solving in both academic and practical situa­ tions. Although our study skills semi­ nars have been successful in en­ couraging Intelligent academic behavior, they seldom go far enough to improve metacognition. Further, some question whether the strate­ gies often taught in -study skills" courses transfer to learning situa­ tions ttiat differ even slightly from the context in which they were in­ troduced. Teaching Thinking Skills Perhaps It is the direct instruc­ tion of thinking skills which has the greatest potential for incorporating recent findings in Intelligence re­ search. It is also the area that requires the greatest commitment of time and energy. If intelligence can be Improved through direct instniction. and there is much to suggest that it can. does it have a place In compensatory education programs? There are reasons why we ought to consider making thinking skills instruction available to our mem­ bers. At the secondary school level, few students have die option of participating in suchi a course, School districts are already hard 7 Spring 1992 �pressed to satisfy content require­ ments. and their complex adminis­ trative structures discourage such initiatives. Compensatory programs not only avoid these pressures, but also offer the advantages ofa smaller student-io-teacher ratio. Programs with academic compo­ nents have several options to explore for incorporating_ instruction In thinking skills. ~ This instruction can be integrated into existing study skills courses or in academic sub­ ject areas. The latter approach would lead us to make compensatoiy education more than a review (or preview) of what is learned in school. The coordination and teacher in-service training will be worth the effort if it leads to an academic experience that empha­ sizes the application of knowledge learned in a classroom. Finally, the option exists to offer our members a separate course in "TRIO staff and students can be encouraged that several recent •reforms* in edu­ cation have been standard proce­ dure in our pro­ grams for a quar­ ter of a century." _ skills instruction thinking (Sternberg. 1986). The significant time commitment requires a care­ ful decision and may make it im­ practical for many of our programs. However, familiarity with packaged programs may also lead to creative approaches to the problem. Any­ one contemplating such a step will benefit from articles, some by the researchers themselves, that pro­ vide a detailed discussion of the 3 programs available (Marzano el a!.. 1988: Sternberg & Bhana, 1986). Conclusion I have suggested several areas in which recent Intelligence research may benefit our member students. These recommendations serve pri­ marily to encourage readers to ex­ plore the options for helping our members to improve their ability to identify intelligent behavior in the context ofboth academic and prac­ tical 引 tuations. TRIO staff and students can be encouraged that several recent -re­ forms" in education have been standard procedure in our programs for a quarter of a century. Smaller class size, a more productive stu­ dent-counselor relationship, and the emphasis on applied knowledge are a few of TRIO's basic services that the education community has recognized as necessary ingredients for success in our schools. Perhaps the most obvious contri­ bution that TRIO has made Is in the area of high school-college articu­ lation. Because TRIO has been bridging the gap between high school and college for more than two decades, our students did not have to wait until now to benefit from the myriad of programs that seek to attract them to their cam­ puses. With this tradiUon in mind, it is clear that we need not hesitate to search for ways to Integrate the findings of intelligence researchers into our educational components.

NCEOA Journal �PROJECT UPWARD BOUND — A Modern Coming of Age bj Ann* Graham 70 If David Copperfield were suddenly dropped from the literary heavens into present day Wyoming Valley, he no doubt would be recruited to become a member of Project Upward Bound at Wilkes College. David epitomizes the youth who is served by Project Upward Bound; he is the promising student who has not been afforded all the advantages of middle-class and upper miadleclass society. He is eager to learn, waiting to be directed, and enthusiastic despite hardships and setbacks. Like David, the typical Upward Bound student needs a mentor to help him believe in himself, to realize his potential, and io take his place in the world. Of course. David founo his Aunt Betsy Trotwood, who guided him. supported him, and Jcsterea his growth. Those special people — WILKES COl.I.EC；!： yf ARTERLY the Betsy Trotwoods of the world — are still ■ " with "" us, but because of the changes in society, generated by modernization, the family support system is sometimes not adequate, not sophisticated enough to deal with the maze coming of age has become. Through agencies and special services the government nas become the aoting aunt ot the young David's of the twentieth century. This support is positive, energetic, and hopeful for the society that ministers it and the youth who receives it. Typically, Wilkes College has been involved actively in serving the needs of this community, and in 1967 the College agreed io host a newly funded Project Upward Bound, a remedial and motivational program designed to offer support and encouragement to eligible high school students. In the nation, Project Upward Bound itself has become one of the most successful federally funaed activities; the program located at Wilkes is no exception. In reacning the dual goals of students succeeding in high school ana of students pursuing education after high scnool the program at Wilkes has served nearly six hundred students. Since its inception 100% of students who remain in the program graduated from high school, diiu and binue since 1973 at least 75% of graduating graduatinc seniors go on to post-secondary education. Many of these are students who often would be easily "overlooked" by the system — the underachiever, the late olossomer, the students beset by family or personal difficulties. Furthermore, the program offers ii>e near 10% high one remedy to the _ school drop out rate in Luzerne County.* Also, a recent survey done by Luzerne County Community College ana Luzerne County Counselor Association has if of -* graduating shown ------------that only 57% seniors in the " area plan to go on to some type of post-secondary education. The program is aDle to augment the efforts of guidance counselors in motivating more students to enroll in colleges and schools. Further, the services extended to the students can be highly personalized and tailored to their needs. In area high schools the stuaent to guidance counselor ratio is nigh, on the average 475 students to one counselor. In Upward Bound tne ratio is sixty students to one counselor; this is especially important in the students senior year when vital decisions regarding college, career, and financial aid are being made. In addition to the program counselor, the lull staff actively fosters social and personal development and maturity. Counseling and role-modeling are interwoven in a positive atmosphere： the student is affirmed in the program — even if this affirmation exists nowhere else. Another important aspect of the program is its year-round operation. In the summer, when many students drift away from scnool, the Upward Bound student is actively involved in a six-week program on the Wilkes Campus. The summer component offers remedial work, developmental studies, career guiaance, social and recreational activities. Students live on campus; this is not only very.popular with students, but it gives them an opportunity to experience dorm life — an important ingredient in success if they choose to live away from home after nigh school. The opportunity to adjust and grow on this personal level is just as important as the academic program. In the summer the students spend time in the classroom studying subjects that they will be taking in their own high schools in the fall. The classes stress the "basics"— reading, mathematics, composition, and study skills. Some students need remedial, individualized learning in a certain subject such as reading. The program also provides "challenge" courses —for example, independent stuay in creative writing. In addition to academic offerings, students also select life­ skill courses such as decision­ making, budgeting, CPR, and public recreating. The YM/YWCA, Kirby ParK, Park, the weight room, the SUB are all places that are livelier on summer evenings because Upward Bound is swimming, playing softball, volleyball, having an "Anything Goes," or dancing the latest disco dance. These activities are all geared to produce thoughtful young men and women who are serious aoout pursuing a post-seconaary education. After two or three years with the program, students who have finished their senior year are ready to "bridge" during the summer component. These students enroll in two college courses for credit; n is their first �Members of the Upwara Bound staff, from left — Jean Narcum, counselor： Susan Donio, administrative assistant; Anno Graham, director, and Jacxig Boyle, assistant director. taste of a true college challenge. The experience prepares them for the fall when they will be full-time students, and it also measures the program's success. After the intensive course work the students nave done during their th high school _ program years, the "bridge" demonstrates the growth and maturity they have achieved. During the academic year students are also involved in the program. From September to May students attend weekly classes in the evening. These classes, like the ones offc fered in the summer component, emphasize basic academic skills. In addition, classes designed to prepare stuaents for College Boards offer challenging ana practical knowledge. Special activities augment the studying; for example, for Hallov/een the students collected money for UNICEF and then had a Halloween party and dance. Throughout the program the students are tested, evaluated, and placed at appropriate levels of studying. This feature of individualized learning geared to the student's needs and ability is not unique in education； however, it is a theory that is difficult to implement in large and impersonal groups. The Project Upward Bound faculty is a mixture of area high school teachers. Wilkes professors, and individuals from the community. These educators bring experience, concern, and diverse backgrounds to the program. The students* lives are enriched culturally and socially, as well as educationally, by interacting with these teachers who are truly interested in youth. In yet another dimension, the program provides cultural and social enrichment for the participants. One important goal of the project is to encourage the students to become well-rounded individuals; the program does this by traveling, by exposing them to r>an> nvnarianr'ae nn new experiences, hw by ^hallanm challenging them to become involved in new activities. Project Upward Bound has logged thousands and thousands of miles: the program has traveled to New York, Philadelphia, Cape May, PittsDurgh, New England, Lancaster, Gettysburg, Atlantic City, Rochester, Corning — the list goes on. For many of the students the trips represent a first glimpse of a world away from Northeastern Pennsylvania. In addition to all the miles and suitcases and fast-food stops, each trip logs many “firsts”: the first visit to a real zoo. the first visit to an art museum, the first Broadway show, the first — but not the fast — time getting lost on a bus with fony-some other people. Also, because tno stall comes to ni know UdUII each 31UUUIH student wall, and W U11, df. because tha staff is aware of Ithe many opportunities for youth, many students have oeen able to participate in such national and state-wiae events as tno Presidential Classroom in Washington, D.C. and the Governor's School for the Arts at Bucknell. Motivation is another important factor in fostering growth in adolescents. Many tlrimes students are caught up in the ;all-consuming present, but as they develop in the program they learn that tomorrow is shapea by the planning and decision-making skills and valuaoie college entrance and financial aid preparation. Seniors are eligible to go on Project Upward Bound sponsored college visits to about ten different campuses throughout Pennsylvania. When seniors have tne opportunity to visit schools and see first-hand what they could be learning and doing, they are all the more eager to succeed. Of course, motivation Is never truly achieved until it becomes self-motivation. The program, which is funded entirely by the Federal government, challenges the students, shifts imponant decisions towards the student, and encourages responsible and mature behavior. Somev/here in the time spent with the program each student comes to realize that he is accountable and in charge of his actions. When this "dawning" comes, the student has succeeded and, more Importantly, will continue to succeed. In conclusion, there is no concluding that can be done. Although students graduate from the program, they continue to return with college transcripts, with news of their careers, with their chilaren. So to draw the full circle, we are back to David Copperfield, who wondered in the beginning "whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my life." Quite simply. Upward Bound believes that our students are the heroes and heroines of their own lives and they come to believe this too.

Cecilia Ottinger Upcoming demographic changes and inaeased legislative interest have made it essential for higher education administrators to focus oh new trends in the persistence and completion patterns of college students. The first key ins tit issue faced by postsecondary institutions is that the pool of traditional college-age youth (18-to-24 year olds) is changing. w The "he total number of 18-to-24 18-to- year , olds.一一 will hold steady ‘ between 一 1990 and 2025, but there will be significant o changes in the composition of racial and ethnic groups within this population. During this period, the number of white college-age th \vill college-age you youth will decrease decrease 18 18 percent, percent, while while thatof that of minority minority youths youths is is projected projected to to grow grow by by 42 42 percent. percent. Historically, white 18-to-24 year olds have been the most likely cohort to begin and complete college education, however, by 2025, minorities are expected to comprise 40 percent of all college-age youth. These trends indicate that higher education will have to exert greater effort to increase the college attendance, and successful graduation of different types of students. Secondly, colleges and universities are being held more accountable by various levelsof government. One in two undergraduates now receives financial aid to attend college. State and federal legislators want to know the outcomes for these students, particularly now when governments are■ experiencing budget ' problems '' which create more lollars contribute to the next wgeneration of educated competition for funds. Taxpayers want to see how their tax d( persons. Many state legislators see links between the level of taxpayer support for public education and the pros­ pects of long-term economic prosperity for the state. Together, these and other concerns indicate the need to focus on what we know about college entry and persistence in our college and universities. This research brief reviews and analyzes national data on college going, persistence and graduation. HIGHLIGHTS • The majority of 1980 high school graduates who enrolled in postsecondary postseconda^ education did not enter in the traditional pattern. pat • Who attains a degree is influenced not only by intellectual ability but also by socioeconomic status. 1980 high school seniors of high ability but low socioeconomic means were not as likely to attain a bachelors degree as are their counter­ parts from higher income families. • African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to enter college on the nontraditional path, and they disproportionately enroll in two-year and less than two-year institutions. African Ameri­ cans and low-income students are the most "atrisk" in terms of dropping out of college. • African Americans and Hispanics are less likely to persist for four years in college or to earn a bachelor's degrees. Overall, v_*verau, siua students are taking longer to attain bachelor's degrees. • Half of the 1980 high school graduates who started college on track "stopped out" of college at some point in their educational experience. Cecilia Ottinger is an Assistant Director al the American Council on Education (ACE) and Editor of the ACE Research Brief Series. �INTRODUCTION IMPLICATIONS • College persistence rates and bachelors degree attainment rates are lower for Atrican Americans and Hispanics. If colleges hope to improve the retention and graduation rates of those students, better programs should be developed to address the academic and environmental barriers these groups face. Because students follow diverse paths to the completion of study, a variety of issues must be consid­ ered in examining their goals. • Improved mechanisms should be developed for increasing access and retention for minorities and low-income students. ® How soon after high school graduation do stu­ dents enroll in postsecondary education? The key questions guiding this inquiry are： • Who enrolls in college after high school gradu­ ation? • What are the characteristics of students who enter collegeona "traditional path" and of those who enter on a "nontraditional path"? ® Further research should address the issue of why relatively few students of high ability .and low>m college. income are persisting and graduating froi ° Who persists? • Better cooperation should be developed between two- and four-year institutions to increase the number of communitj lity college students who successfully transfer ana . id attain bachelor's degrees. • Who stops out or drops out of college? 9 How many eam an associate's or bachelors degree in 5 1/2 years? ® More programs should be developed to increase the completion rates of students who enter college on the nontraditional path. 9 Which types of programs are most successful in retaining and graduating students?

Much research has found that students who enter college immedia tely after high school graduation are the ''most likely to persist to attain degrees. The HS&B 1980 survey data base documents this but also allows us to to ^5, other compare the characteristics of these students 圮 types of postsecondary entrants. 3 �Timing of College Entry The majority (52 percent) of 1980 high school graduates did not pursue any type of postsecondary education immediately after high school. • Slightly less than half of 1980 high school gradu­ ates (48 percent) entered postsecondary institu-tions immediately after high school (table 2). Academic ability and socioeconomic status also influence the timing of college entry. The higher the sociocconomicstatusand academic ability the greater the likelihood of immediate postsecondary entry (table 2). • Eighty-five percent of 1980 graduates of both high ability and high socioeconomic status at­ tended college immediately, compared to78 per­ cent of high-ability youth from iow-income families (NCES, 1989b). ° Women high school graduates were somewhat more likely than mento 」 enter ; postsecondary 1 ' institutions immediately (51 percent vs. 45 per­ cent). College Going: Traditional Path vs. Non-Traditional Path The pattern of immediate postsecondary entry also varied by race/ethnicity: ® Among 1980 high school graduates, Asia ns were the most likely group to enter college immedi­ ately after high school graduation (76 percent). The traditional perception of college attendance is that students entera four-year college in the fall immedi­ ately after high school graduation, study full-time for four consecutive years, and then graduate. Other pat­ terns of study — especially initial enrollment at a twoyear college — are now acceptable and common but, as the HS&B study demonstrates, students who follow a nontraditional path are put at some disadvantage. However, with the exception of Asians, minorities • •, j ， were less likely than whites in the 1980 “ graduating class to enter postsecondary education immediately after high school graduation. Yet, as is evident from the HS&B data, the majority of 1980 high school graduates did not fit the traditional pattern. • Less than three out of ten 1980 high school graduates (29 percent) attended1 college collej in the traditional way, as defined here (figure (" 1). • Forty-two percent of African American high school graduates entered college immediately, as did 39 percent of Hispanics and 34 percent of Native Americans; in comparison, 50 percent of whites exhibited this pattern.

Less than two years Two years Part-time Delayed Entry Transfer • Of all students who entered two-year institu­ tions, those from low-SES backgrounds repre­ sented a larger proportion than those with highSES backgrounds (46 percent and 37 percent, respectively) (Carroll, 1989). ^arron, College ^ouege Persistence rersisience and mio Degree uegruv Source: C.

This categorization offers a measure of how many students maintain continuous enrollment, in the tradi­ tional pattern of college study. Many of these students will complete their degree study, as documented by the 1986 HS&B follow-up. —20 percent attended less than two-year institu­ tions; and —Another 3 percent attended college part-time. • One-third of 1980 high school : jduateshadnot -o------>lgrac enrolled in college by 1986 198，'"(i.e.,,had never at'' tempted formal study forr a postsecondary de* gree or certificate). • More than half (54 percent) of 1980 high school graduates who entered on the traditional path were persisters (Carroll, 1989). Generally, White and Asian 1980 high school graduates were more likely than others to start college on the traditional path. 5 L �PERSISTENCE VARIED BY RACE/ETHNICITY • Asians who started colk u on the traditional lege path persisted at a slightly giy higher rate than whites (61 percent vs. 56 percent). • Both African American and Hispanic students who started on the traditional path were some­ what less likely to persist than whites (44 percent and 42 percent, respectively). • Persistence also varied by socioeconomic status. Sixty percent of high-SES 1980 high school graduates who started on the traditional path persisted four years. In comparison, only 42 percent of low-SES persisters followed this pat­ tern. • The higher the level of ability and SES the more likely students wereto ' persist. For example, 65 percent of high ability and high-SES 1980 gradu­ ates persisted through academic yearl 983-84. In comparison, 51 percent of those of high ability and low-SES persisted through academic year 1983-84 (NCES, 1989b). Figure 3 Pattern of Traditional Path Leavers ° However, African American students of high ability were much less likely to persist than their white counterparts (38 percent vs. 63 percent respectively). STOPOUTS Half of the 1980 high school graduates who started college on the traditional path "stopped out" of college at ooint in their educational experience but had re­ some point turned m bj by '1986 "■ (figure 3), • Males were somewhat more likely to stopout than females (53 percent vs. 48 percent). DROPOUTS "Dropouts" for purposes or this study are students who enrolled in college on the traditional path but left college and had not returned by February 1986. • More than one-quarter of 1980 high school graduates who entered college on the tradi­ tional path dropped out (26 percent) (Carroll, 1989). There is a considerable amount of literature that attempts to predict which students will drop oout. Students drop out for a number of reasons indudi ding „ academic, personal and financial factors. Factors such as race and socioeconomic status have also been associated with dropping out of college (Clewell and Ficklen, 1986). These same patterns were evident for 1980 high school graduates. ° African American students were more likely to dropout than any other racial group. For ex­ ample, 33 percent of African American 1980 high school graduates who started college on the traditional path had dropped out by 1986, ;ians who did compared to the 18 percent of Asi so. • Students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds dropped out at a fargreaterrate than those from high socioeconomic families (44 percent vs. 14 percent).

D.C.: National Center for Education Statistic Given the variety of college going patterns exhibited by 1980 high school graduates, a key concern is how lapy of these students who entered poslsecondary institutions completed a bachelo/sd egree. However, it should be noted that not all students who entered college were aiming for a four-year degree. �* Overall, less than one out of five of all 1980 high school graduates had attained a bachelors degree by 1986 (19 percent). , Among 1980 high school graduates who started college on the nontraditional path, those from highSESbackgrounds were more likely toattain a bachelors degree than were low-SES gradu­ ates (19 percent vs. 4 percent). * More than half of 1980 highschool grac aduatesvvho entered college the traditionalrpatt „ in -----------------..ttem earned a bachelors degree by 1986 (53 percent) (Carroll, 1989). The likelihood of attaining a bachelors degree also depended on the characteristics of students* college going experiences. • Overall, only 9 percent of 1980 high school graduates who entered college on the nontraditional path earned bachelor's degrees. • Thirty-nine percent of stopouts earned bachelo/s degrees by 1986. (Carroll, 1989). • Persisters — those who started college immediately and maintained continuous enrollment — were the most likely group to earn bachelor's degrees by 1986. Among those 1980 high school graduates who persisted, 74 percent attained bachelors degrees by May 1986. • Only 34 percent of those who shifted from fulltime to part-time study earned bachelors de­ grees by 1986. • The least likely groups <o attain a bachelors degree were students who attended two-year or less-than two-year institutions. Many of them, it must be acknowledged, never intended to work toward a bachelors degree. Degree attainment also varied by race/ethnicity, ability and socioeconomic factors. • About one-third of African Americans and His­ panics who started on the traditional path had attained bachelors degrees by 1986 (33 percent and 31 percent, respectively). PROFILE OF TWO-YEAR COLLEGE ENTRANTS • Overall, 25 percent of 1980 high school gradu­ ates had entered a hvo-year public institution by 1986 (NCES, 1989b). Forty-four percent of African American 1980 high school graduates of high-SES background who entered college in the traditional pat" pattern earned a bachelors degree compared to 28J percent of those from low-SES backgrounds iwho entered in the traditional manner. (NCES, 1989b) • Thirteen percent of 1980 high school gradu­ ates entered public two-year institutions im­ mediately after high school graduation. • According to Grubb (1991) 20 percent of 1980 high school graduates who entered two-year institutions transferred to four-year institu institu-­ tions within four years. • Whites who started college in a nontraditional pattern were more likely to attain bachelors degrees than African Americans or Hispanics who started college on the nontraditional path (10 percent vs. 5 percent and 4 percent, respec­ tively) (Carroll, 1989). —African Americans were the least likely group to transfer (10 percent) while 22 percent of whites and 16 percent of Hispanics did so. Among all 1980 high school graduates, those from high-SES backgrounds earned bachelof s degree ata far greater extent than those from low-SES families. • By 1986,15 percent of those who entered twoyear public institutions had attained a bachelors degree. )t complete college • Many bright students did not . 66 for reasons related to family'income. While ...u.c vm percent of high-SES, high ability students who entered on the traditional path attained degrees by 1986, only 44 percent of their high ability, low-SES counterparts, did so. (NCES, 1989b) • Among those who entered two-year public colleges immediately after high school graduation, 38 percent had attained an associate's degree or certificate by 1986. • Overall, 7 percent of all 1980 high school graduates'had attained an assodat* ite's degree by 1986. 7 �SUMMARY The national data from the High School and Beyond study indicate several key factors about who is most likely to finish college in 5 1/2 years, who is least likely to attend in a traditional pattern, who persists and who drops out of college. Generally, the results show that： • Students who enter college in the traditional pattern are more likely to persist and earn a degree. However, the majority of 1980 high school graduates did not attend college in this fashion. • African Americans and Hispanics have lower rates of completion and higher rates of dropping out than do Asians and whites. Both the former groups are likely to enter college in the nontraditional fashion. • Socioeconomic status still affects persistence even when ability is taken into account. Below is a summary of retention data for the state of Tennesse, which shows that "some of" the same patterns of the college experience are found on the state level. STATEWIDE RETENTION DATA: TENNESSEE In 1984, Tennessee enacted its Education Reform Act. A component of this legislation established a goal of "an increase in the percentage of students who enter a four-year and ' 一―一universii^Segree 一 ： 1. tprogram - -o -____ 3 subsequently earn* iccalaureate ' ' degrees." " As " a result ■ of this goal the state tracks the traditional student, which is defined as a first-time full-time student registered for 12 credits or more, entering in ' 'the -， — fall term.' These arestudents reviewed at two, three, four, five and six year intervals to determine if they have completed their goals. Findings for the 1984 freshmen class include: • The majority of the 1984 freshmen took more than 4 years to complete their college education from the admitting institutions. • Twelve percent of 1984 freshmen class gradu­ ated with a bachelors degree within four years. • Eighteen percent of the 1984 class earned a col­ lege degree in five years and 8 percent did so in six years. • Bachelors degree attainment rates for African Americans in Tennessee were less than that of whites (23 percent vs. 40 percent). • Overall, thecompleti tion rate at two-year institutions (i.e. successful!) ly earning an associate's degree) was 15 percent. • Seven percent of those who graduated from two-year institutions did so in tw( to years , and another 8 percent did so in three years. • As with four-year institutions, ns,African 八mean Ameri 八mcn-­ can graduation rates in two-year 「car institutions lag behind that of white rates (7 ；7 percent vs. 一~ 17 percent). What Works? If higher education is to address the issue of college persistence and attainment, institutions must develop their programs and practices actices to meet the tl special needs of aitu minority .i.uiority students and an those who enter low-income and college in the nontraditional fashion. Clewell and FickJen (1986) indicated that the ele­ ments of a successful retention program include: explicit university policy, a high level of institutional commit­ ment, a substantial institutionalization of the program, comprehensive services, dedicated staff, systematic collection of data, monitoring and follow-up, strong faculty support, and nonstigmatization of participants. The institutional case studies below illustrate all or some of these aforementioned components. MOUNT SAINT MARY'S COLLEGE— DOHENY CAMPUS Mount Saint Maryas College in Los F Angeles is a »v umicj/o lilzcial STtS CO1 small CuthuliC Catholic women's liberal college. The institution's main carimpusisin West Los Angeles (i.e. the Chalon campus) anc id houses the baccalaureate degree program. In 1962, Mount Saint Mary's opened a two-year program in downtown Los Angeles, which is the Doheny Campus. This campus has been extremely successful in enrolling and graduating minority women. Many of the young women who enter the associate degree program are first generation college attendees, and considered "high-risk" students. Many of these students have had poor or less than adequate academic preparation in high school, or are immigrants with English language diffi­ culties. The principal criterion foradmission to the Asso­ ciate of Arts degree program at Mount Saint Mary's College is for students to demonstrate the potential for success. Thecc zollege specializes in educating students who have high school s 、 grade point averages and SAT scores that are below the? cut-offs i of ____ )f many colleges: Lthe average —freshmen c-一一—e r「 and j ___ averhigh school GPA for entering is 2,5 age composite SAT score is 662. The demographic profile of the college is two hundred young women with approximately 10 percent Asian, 17 percent African American, 63 percent Hispanic and 10 percent white. Sixty-seven percent of the young women who tered this program ； ram in fall 1987 either completed completed 、their associate of arts s degree or transferred to the Chalon campus where the baccalaureate degree program is housed. �In 1989, Mount Saint Mary's College conducted a study to assess their two-year associate program and to develop a model which describes and explains the pro­ gram. The key finding of the study was that: The most important component of the Mount Saint Mary's College program at the Doheny campus is the •nmitirz' " -------岳一:institutional 一' commustrong commitment off ' the entire nity to the successful education of minority women. The strategies used in the minority advancement program at Mount Saint Mar/s College include: SUPPORTIVE CAMPUS CLIMATE * Both students and faculty considered the warm and caring campus climate which encourages studying and learning the most important factor contributing to student persistence and success. ® The campus climate is characterized as warm, trusting and generally caring. There is an active concern for student's needs which involves ai af­ firming each studenfs talents, abilities and skills. Counseling services are provided to assist each student in developing doping a strong sense of self. Wayne State is an urban institution geared toward students who are employed. Twenty-five percent of the total curriculum and 30 percent ofundergraduatecourscs are offered in the lateafternoon and evening. Only about half of the students attend full-time. Regular admission to WSU requires a 2.75 high school GPA. The majority of students ore admitted on this criterion. Wayne State University also utilizes a bridge program in order to close the educational gap for students who do not meet the institution's criteria. These programs include extended classes covering required tT‘一~'learning ---- ---------------•• • material, tutoring, laboratories, collaborative study 二—；and 一一.3 intrusive counseling. These programs are geared to those students who might be particularly vulnerable to academic failure. WSU offersan outreach program for students ineli­ gible for regular admission. Once students complete 24 to 30 credits in special format classes, they may transfer toother colleges within theinstitution through the Project 350 program. The program supports these students for three years with summer bridge programs, skills instruc­ tion and tutoring. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of these students graduate from a postsecondar)' institu­ tion. This graduation rate exceeds that of many regularly admitted students at WSU and urban univeraities. ADEQUATE ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICE ® Financial aid and the assistance of the Admis­ sions office are other major factors in recruiting students. • The academic support services include diagnos­ tic testing and placement, which identifies each studenfs strengths and weaknesses. Students are also given reliable academic advisement which is closely monitored. GENERAL STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES Students are provided with an extensive network of support services including support and understand­ ing for the varying multicultural perspectives on cam­ pus. Career services are also provided. WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY Wayne State University which in 1956 came under state control has achieved excellent local education par­ ticipation rates. This is due in part to the location of the • institution, its links with public schools, and its long­ standing commitment to providing educational opportunities to a diverse student body. KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE Kingsborough Community College (KCC) is lo­ cated in Brooklyn, New York. The New Start program was initiated in 1985; it is designed to assist students facing dismissal at four-year institutions and to give them a second chance. After referral by a four-year institution, students who enroll in the program are admitted to KCC in good academic standing and are permitted to apply up to t 30 "" previously earned credits toward an associate's de* 书ree. In addition, the students are assigned a counselc o . lor to assist them with academic transfer, career and personal concerns, and make appropriate referrals to on-and offcampus support sen'ices. A total of 1560 students from eleven colleges par­ ticipated in New Start during its first six years with enrollments increasing from 51 in fall 1985 to 610 in spring 1991. Most enrollment was concentrated in the fields of Liberal Arts, Business Administration, and Ac­ counting. By the end of s^~~~ =一 ' ~~ spring 1991, approximately 25 percent of all New Startt students had graGu* graduated from KCC or transferred to four year- institutions; 46，percent were planning to continue at KCC after springj 1991. ' AU of the New Start graduates who applied to ffour-year * institutions were accepted by at least one of the colleges of their choice. ' �POLICY IMPLICATIONS Attainment Differences by SES Background: Students who enter college right after high school and attend four year colleges are the most likely candi­ jduate. Yet higher education since the 1960s dates to graduate. dramati< has changed1 dramatically: the college student of today and those of the future — based on demographic trends —are not likely to follow the traditional pattern. If institutions hope to enroll, retain and assist these stu­ dents in attaining their educational goals, they must be more effective in addressing the particular needs of these groups. We also know from the data that many high ability low-incomesrudentsare not completing their education. This leads to several questions. • Are student aid monies reaching those most in need? ° How can institutions and low-income families creatively address the problem associated with financing their college education? • What other mechanisms can institutions utilize to address the needs of the economically disad­ vantaged? The analysis of college going behavior of 1980 high school graduates illustrates the need for institutions to answer several key questions related to the the low attainment rates for minorities, students from low-in­ come backgrounds, kgrounds, and for those who did not attend college in the traditional manner. The fact that fewer minorities are attaining de­ grees, coupled with the fact that the vast majority are beginning their postsecondary education at less than four-year institutions, are two issues that higher education must address.>.Po,n *oz1 questions which rco. Related need to be considered are： • What strategies can be developed by two- and four-year institutions to increase transfers? ® Is our society willing;to take the risks of future bipolarization on the! Ibasis of race and socioeconomic factors? • What role can colleges play in addressing the needs of minority youth in college? • What types of programs will assist students in attaining their educational goals at two-year institutions? • What role will a multicultural curriculum play in addressing these problems? p Only after we answer these1 questions and more institutions develop strategies to address ,' these issues can higher education begin to increase the educational a t tainmen t of those who enter college in the nontraditional pattern. Yet, it is exactly these individuals who appear to 'be an ever-increasing component of the college-going population. What mechanisms can institutions develop to increase the likelihood of 'educational g， ......................... goal non-traditional entry student ■nts? 10 �「 i END NOTES BIBLIOGRAPHY 1- The High School and Beyond Survey (HS&B) is a nationallongitudinalstudyof 1980 highschoolseniors and sophomores. The data base was developed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. Base year information was collected on 28,000 high school seniors in 1980 and includes follow-up surveys of nearly 12,000 in 1982,1984and 1986. This paper presents data supplied by 1980 high school graduates in the second and third follow-ups which were conducted in 1984 and 1986. The HS&B data base is a single source of information on the generation of college students in the 1980s and is probably the most complete national data base available. The HS&B allows one to analyze the overall patterns of college attendance and completion for a national sample of students.
