- 11. Data Study Analyzed key progression outcomes such as retention, GPA, and degree completion • 7 schools participated (generally linked with Presidents’ Advisory Council) • Must have 7-10 years of institutional data and agreement from IR staff to provide it • Goal was both to produce findings and learn from the implementation process
- 12. Findings: Yeah! • Bonners perform at levels similar to the campus population or some cases (leadership-oriented schools) exceed these levels with one campus exception. This finding is significant given 5 of the 7 Bonner Programs exhibited statistically lower baselines than the general population. • Key subgroups also perform at levels that exceed like- groups in non-Bonner populations (descriptively) (African American, Latino, Pell, etc). This suggests the program has a positive effect on student retention and completion. • For the majority of programs, Bonners’ retention and GPA distributions and means are similar to the general population (i.e., non-Bonners). Again, students are integrating successfully. We are winning and making valuable contributions!
