Why are certain universities more successful in granting degrees to students in Underrepresented Groups (URG) than other institutions? Are there practices or approaches used by certain institutions that might work for other institutions? The Change Makers: How Three Universities Are Helping Underrepresented Engineering Students Succeed at Higher Rates is a small pilot analysis around a key question: Can we identify specific equity-focused policies and practices to explain variation among institutions in undergraduate engineering degrees awarded to URG students?

This report outlines key components of effective completion grant programs. Completion grant programs provide small amounts of funding to students with demonstrated need during the last leg of their academic journey. Such programs have grown in popularity over the past decade as institutions seek to meet students’ unmet financial need and boost college completion. Drawing on the experience and impact of completion grant programs of several institutions, APLU and USU released the report to highlight current completion grant practices at urban and open-access institutions, provide considerations for implementing completion grant programs, and demonstrate the need for ongoing study of completion grant programs and improving their impact.

Higher education mergers elicit different reactions from stakeholders for many reasons. Few institutions follow a premeditated plan and consider the impacts a merger will have on the involved institutions’ internal and external stakeholders. Mergers, undoubtedly, present risks and costs to the newly consolidated institution’s capacity to transform. Therefore, it is vital for the stakeholders who guide a merger to set a positive tone for the faculty, staff, and community.

It is important to consider how shifting the funding model of a university may present challenges to sustaining an institutional change agenda.
