maintaining transfer momentum - full-time student status was oneof the strongest predictors of transfer in an analysis of 2003-2009 data from community collegesacross the U.S., doubling the probability that a student will transfer to a 4-year program (LaSotaand Zumeta, 2016). While maintaining academic momentum is a factor in improving graduationrates, scholarships also allow for greater opportunity to engage in campus activities outside ofclass, increasing students’ engagement with their institution (Marra et al., 2015). Several studiesat the Community College of Baltimore County showed that targeted scholarship programs (likeNSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM))can increase the number of

Furthermore, to create a curriculum that has asignificant impact with measurable outcomes on a particular subject, it is essential to determinethe most appropriate delivery method for the target audience.References[1] American College Health Association (ACHA), “NCHA- II_Fall_2017_Reference_Group_Executive_Summary.pdf.” Accessed: Nov. 13, 2022.

While this seems to be,and arguably is, problematic, as Pippert and colleagues point out, this could potentially be aresult of the aspirations of IHEs – by depicting greater diversity, more diverse students may wantto enroll, which will create more diverse campuses. To that notion, Gibbs [68] argues – and weagree – that “persuasive marketing” by IHEs is unethical, and that colleges should resistemploying such strategies.This concept of disingenuous marketing was reproduced in Henslee et al.’s 2017 mixed methodsstudy examining undergraduate, first-year student perceptions of the college viewbook at

terms like “reflection AND education” returnedmany more results.Students are suffering from a phenomenon exemplified by T. S. Elliot’s quote, “We had theexperience but missed the meaning” [23]. For students, the university experience today is aconstant cycle of attempting to absorb new information, learning just enough to completeassignments, turning in those assignments, and moving on to the next. Educators typically provideample opportunity to practice skills, but little opportunity to reflect upon them. Academia does notalways approach reflection with the most favorable perspective. It is often seen as a nonsensicaloutpour of emotions or a simple summary of events, neither of which are compatible with therigorous and “objective” world of
