Since 1988, the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition has conducted national research on student learning, development, and success and high-impact practices, including the first-year seminar in American higher education, sophomore initiatives, peer leadership, information literacy, and senior capstone experiences. These results are made available through publications and conference presentations. We also encourage continued research through the publication of our journal and collaboration with scholars from around the world who undertake studies of first-year experiences and significant transition issues.
