looking at student support through this lens is that the MCCS provides a way todeconstruct student support and identify the underlying experiences. This multipronged approachis advantageous because, while specific interventions may not be transferable, students’experiences can transcend contexts within and across institutions. For example, instead ofinvestigating the impact of peer mentoring programs—which are not often identical—this lensallows us to investigate the impact of the overall perception of interactions that students havewith other students outside of the classroom.Research Design& RationaleThe development of the survey instrument is being carried out following best practices asdefined by DeVellis [2] and Gall, Gall & Borg [3
