In 1982, 175 educators met at the USC for a meeting on the first-year seminar concept. The National Resource Center was established in 1986 and has broadened its focus to include other significant student transitions in higher education. Since then, over 30 years of research have been accumulated.

  11. Insights from the Conference: A Transformation in Culture Student success vs. student satisfaction: The by-product of student success is enrollment, retention and completion. It takes courage to make policy and service changes to affect student success: Since we know what works for student success, we need to do it. We know students don’t do “optional.”
