Has there been any past involvement of IHEP in minority student access and success in higher education?
IHEP has a strong record of managing programmatic initiatives focused on increasing access and success for underserved student populations, especially at MSIs. Through its work with the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education, IHEP has developed expertise in issues critical to the success of MSIs and the student they serve. For example, through the Building Engagement and Attainment for Minority Students (BEAMS) project, IHEP facilitated the development and implementation of data-driven initiatives to improve student success at over 100 four-year MSIs. IHEP’s research agenda has also included a focus on MSIs. Some recent MSI, and minority-student, specific reports include The Path of Many Journeys: The Benefits of Higher Education for Native People and Communities and Educating the Emerging Majority: The Role of Minority-Serving Colleges and Universities in Confronting America’s Teacher Crisis.
