- Investing In Student Success: The Return On Investment Of Minority Serving InstitutionsGasman, Marybeth; Castro Samayoa, Andres; Boland, William C.; Washington, Amanda; Jimenez, Chris D.; Esmieu, Paola 'Lola' (The Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania, 2016-05-01)Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) educate 20 percent of the nation’s college students, including large percentages of first generation and low-income students as well as students of color (NCES, 2015). However, these institutions—including Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Asian American & Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs)—are often excluded from national conversations regarding increasing college opportunity and maligned by media, scholars, and policymakers as making only marginal contributions. One reason MSIs are overlooked is because there is little research on their return on investment (ROI). In order to spur conversation about MSIs and ROI, the Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions and Educational Testing Service commissioned four new, empirical research papers by leading scholars in higher education. This report share executive summaries of the papers as well as links to the full papers.
- Transforming Faculty-led Study Abroad for Minority Serving Institution StudentsBlake, Daniel; Esmieu, Paola 'Lola'; Gasman, Marybeth; Abraham, Keshia; Jones, Brandy (The Center for Minority Serving Institutions at the University of Pennsylvania, 2019-06-01)Faculty members are key stakeholders as they have the potential to create faculty-led programs and recruit students to study abroad. They are essential in promoting and encouraging the internationalization of institutions and curricula. However, faculty members themselves are often not encouraged to participate in study abroad (Esmieu et al., 2016). This report illuminates the significance of faculty-led study abroad using research from the Project Passport International Faculty Development Seminar.
