Do working students buy into HIPs? Working for pay and participation in high-impact practices
Zilvinskis, J., & McCormick, A. C.
Journal of College Student Development, 60(5 September-October), 543–562, 2019.
High-impact practices (HIPs), a set of distinctive educational experiences associated with a range of educational benefits, have garnered the attention of educators, policy makers, and researchers alike. Concerns exist regarding who has access to HIPs, and one possible impediment is paid employment. We investigated the relationship between student employment and participation in two HIPs: service-learning and undergraduate research. Using data from 207,925 respondents to the 2015 and 2016 administrations of the National Survey of Student Engagement, we examined patterns of HIPs participation when considering the differing circumstances of part-time and full-time senior undergraduates with regard to paid employment on campus, off campus, and both. The findings can guide institutional practice, such as the design of campus employment opportunities as well as academic advising to promote HIPs participation.

Frequency of first-year student interactions with advisors
Fosnacht, K., McCormick, A. C., Nailos, J. N., & Ribera, A. K.
NACADA Journal, 37(1), 74-86, 2017.
Although acknowledged that academic advising helps students adjust to and deal with the challenges of college, little is known about students' frequency of interactions with advisors. Using data from 52,546 full-time, first-year students at 209 diverse institutions, we examined the frequency with which students met with academic advisors and the way these interactions vary by student and institutional characteristics. We found that the typical first-year student met with an advisor 1 to 3 times during his or her first college year; however, the number of meetings varied across student subpopulations and institutional types.

Promoting student success: What advisors can do
De Sousa, D. J.
Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research, 2005.
Students who are well prepared academically and highly motivated tend to do well in college and persist to graduation. But for various reasons?some of which are beyond their control?many students lack the requisite academic background for college-level work. As a result, most colleges and universities enroll students with a wide range of abilities. Some of these institutions are more effective than others in helping their students succeed in college. These schools recognize that in terms of learning and personal development, what students bring to college is less important than what they do when they get to college. Academic advisors can play an integral role in promoting student success by assisting students in ways that encourage them to engage in the right kinds of activities, inside and outside the classroom. Advisors are especially important because they are among the first people new students encounter and should see regularly during their first year. The guiding principles offered here are based on an in-depth examination of 20 diverse four-year colleges and universities that have higher-than-predicted graduation rates and demonstrated through the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) that they have effective policies and practices for working with students of differing abilities and aspirations. These institutions are referred to below as either educationally effective schools or high-performing institutions.

Advising during the pandemic: What we learned from research and educational practice
Cole, James and Kinzie, Jillian
NACADA, Portland, Oregon, 2022, October.
The pandemic created new challenges for students and campuses alike. Students experienced major disruptions in their educational experiences resulting in heightened mental health and academic concerns that contributed to an increasing equity gap. Campuses realized that they needed to re-align, prioritize, and develop new approaches to advising to be meet the needs of these students. Much of what was learned since 2020 is now part of the new normal. This presentation will highlight the academic and mental health challenges faced by thousands of entering fall 2022 students, focusing on first-year and transfer students, students of color, and first-generation. The presentation will describe how two institutions responded to this challenge. An important component of this presentation will be participants learning from each other and sharing how their campuses responded.

Focus on the finish line: Does high-impact practice participation influence career plans and job attainment?
Miller, A. L., Rocconi, L. M., & Dumford, A. D.
Association for the Study of Higher Education Annual Conference, Denver, CO, 2015, November.
High-impact practices (HIPs) are an important component of student engagement in higher education, as they promote learning, development, and persistence among students. The goal of this study was to extend the research on HIPs to explore potential connections with HIP participation and career outcomes. Using data from the National Survey of Student Engagement, this study explores whether high-impact practice (HIP) participation influences plans for career and further education for graduating seniors, and whether HIP participation has a positive impact on job attainment for these students. The results of logistic and multinomial regression analyses suggest that even after controlling for a variety of other demographic and institutional factors, HIP participation is a significant predictor of future career plans and attainment. The findings are discussed in the context of the Chaos Theory of Careers (Pryor & Bright, 2003), which emphasizes the role of multiple influences and chance, as well as acknowledging nonlinear paths in career advising and development. HIP participation can give students a career-related advantage through transferable skill development, engaging in learning opportunities, and generating ?stories? for potential employers.

Seeking advice: An exploratory analysis of how often first-year students meet with advisors
Fosnacht, K., McCormick, A. C., Nailos, J., & Ribera, A. K.
American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting, Chicago, IL, 2015, April.
While it is well understood that academic advising helps students adjust to and deal with the challenges of college, little is known about what influences the extent of their interactions with advisors. Using data from 52,546 full-time, first-year students at a diverse set of 209 institutions, we examined how often students met with academic advisors, and how this varies by student and institutional characteristics. We find that the typical first-year student met with an advisor one to three times during their first college year. However, the number of meetings varied across student subpopulations and institution types. Findings aim to inform wider discussions about academic advising and student support on college campuses.

Recovering Equilibrium for Student Engagement, Learning and Success
Kinzie, Jillian
University of Wisconsin System Meeting, 2021, October.
As we continue to operate in a disrupted undergraduate experience, what should colleges and universities have front of mind to foster equitable student learning and success? Decades of research affirms that learning mindsets, such as sense of belonging, purpose and expectations for success and support, can increase studentsâ?? likelihood of retention and success. In addition, studentsâ?? experiences in collaborative learning, High-Impact Practices (HIPs) and advising can enhance learning. These factors are perhaps more critical than ever as we seek to ensure success for all students. This session draws on recent data from the Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement (BCSSE) regarding students entering college in 2021 and findings from the 2021 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to highlight vital student success practices. The importance of disaggregated data to explore quality and differences by student subpopulations will also be discussed.

Doing Academic Advising Well: Findings about Advising Practice at Research Universities
Kinzie, Jillian; McCormick, Alex; Silberstein, Samantha; Gonyea, Bob; Dugan, Brendan
Association of American College & Universities Annual Meeting, 2021, January.
High-impact practices (HIPs) represent a core feature of a high-quality undergraduate education and are often hailed as life-changing events. The literature identifies a set of essential elements common across HIPs, yet to date most evidence about HIPs has been limited to student participation in designated HIPs, with scant empirical examination of their implementation. We report on a multi-institution study of studentsâ?? exposure to these el! ements of quality in seven HIPs (first-year seminar, learning communities, service-learning, research with faculty, study abroad, internships and field experiences, and culminating senior experiences) to deepen understanding of HIP quality and to explore racially minoritized student access to high-quality HIPs and discuss strategies to enhance quality standards and equity.

How Do We Know Advising Is Done Well? Using NACADA Core Competencies to Assess Advising
Cole, James & Kinzie, Jillian
NACADA Annual Conference, 2020, October.
This sessions suggests how institutions can use NSSE & the Advising Module to:
* consider advising practice overall (are students experiencing quality advising to support learning, engagement and persistence?),
* assess the impact of advising aligned with NACADA standards,
* investigate differences in advising experiences by race/ethnicity, first generation status, gender identity, and disability status for their students, and
* determine if groups of students for example, those earning lower grades or who have lower intentions to return differ in their advising experiences.

Bombaugh, M., & Cole, J.
Annual Conference on the First-Year Experience, Las Vegas, NV, 2019, February.
This session will discuss the emerging trend of using predictive data to identify and support first-year students. For several years, USF-Tampa has been using an in-house persistence model to identify 10-12% of new first-year students at risk of not persisting to the second year. In Fall 2016, USF incorporated BCSSE data into the predictive model. BCSSE Advising Reports and results are shared with academic advisors, first-year seminar instructors, and housing personnel who provide targeted interventions for these students. BCSSE data not only strengthened the statistical model, but also identified which BCSSE variables were significant predictors of first-year persistence.

Socializing mammies? Examining graduate student engagement of Black women graduate instructors
Wheatle, K., & BrckaLorenz, A.
National Conference on Race & Ethnicity in American Higher Education, Washington, DC, 2015, May.
Existent research on Black women faculty suggest that student and colleague expectations of the roles these faculty should assume, including the stereotypical ?mammy,? create environments in which Black women are forced to overload advising, service, and mentoring, working themselves to exhaustion in lieu of producing research and publications (Griffin & Reddick, 2011). Yet, little is known about how Black women allocate their time to teaching, advising, and other professional development activities while they are graduate students. In this session, the presenters will describe findings from a large-scale sample of engagement survey data collected from graduate student instructors (GSIs) to explore self-perceptions of teaching experiences of Black/African American women GSIs. This session should benefit current and prospective graduate students, faculty, and practitioners who provide teaching and professional development resources for graduate student instructors.
