Twenty-seven new institutions joined the Wabash National Study this summer. First-year students at the 27 campuses will take assessments at the start of the upcoming school year. The cost of participation is supported by a $250,000 grant from the Davis Educational Foundation and a $394,500 grant from the Teagle Foundation. This next cohort includes 19 small colleges, one community college, and seven universities. Institutions in this round of the study will participate in a number of support activities designed to help them use study data to improve student learning.
