In this paper, we show an unintended effect of the program Ser Pilo Paga (SPP) that was a flagship program of the Colombian government between 2014 and 2018. It was designed as an intervention in the Colombian Higher Education System (CHES) by awarding, in the steady state, individual funding to about 40,000 students. Every year, 10,000 new students were chosen from the best applicants in the top decile of the population in the entrance exam to higher education in Colombia that also came from families that live under the level of poverty according to a national survey. Our approach, based on an intensive study of the changes in the statistical distributions of the exam scores during these four years, provides evidence of student performance improvements not only of the beneficiaries of the program, but also of the whole student population. This shows that the program opened similar opportunities for all the students, especially for the poorest ones. The program drove a reduction in the gap between students of the upper strata of the population and those of the lowest strata that usually did not access a high quality institution of higher education due to the lack of funding. This result has opened a debate about the optimal way of funding higher education.

Objective Indicators

The importance of the economy in US presidential elections is well established. Voters reward or punish incumbent party candidates based on the state of the economy. The electorate focuses particularly on economic change, not the level of the economy per se, and pays more attention to late-arriving change than earlier change. On these points there is a good amount of scholarly agreement (see e.g., Erikson and Wlezien 1996; Hibbs 1987). There is less agreement, however, on what specific indicators matter to voters. Some scholars rely on income growth, others on GDP growth, and yet others on subjective perceptions (see Abramowitz 2008; Campbell 2008; Holbrook 1996b; also see Campbell and Garand 2000). In our work, we have used the index of leading economic indicators, a composite of ten variables, including the University of Michigan's index of consumer expectations, stock prices, and eight other objective indicators.

We studied first-year students through an integrated group workshop and longitudinal interviews that focused on students' transitional experience at the university as well as the strategies they developed to adjust to university life. Four themes emerged: the challenges of forming connections to other students with similar interests during the first few weeks on campus, the need to balance competing demands, varied experiences of connection with faculty and staff, and the need for translation of university life for minority students. To address the issues and concerns that emerged from our findings, we offer a number of advisory recommendations and programmatic initiatives. Relative Emphasis: research, practice, theory

The University of Utah Nuclear Engineering Program (UNEP) has established and continues to build a strong nuclear safety culture by developing class and laboratory soft skills training and activities. An effective safety-culture is essential to nuclear safety and can help prevent errors and misconduct by ensuring expectations and consequences are clearly stated and understood. Academic and research reactors present additional challenges as new students are joining the program and nuclear environment for the first time. The UNEP is leading the way in establishing and building a strong positive nuclear safety culture. Social media and practical training is being developed that is intertwined with class and laboratory work along with integrating industry used tools and software to prepare the future nuclear workforce to meet the needs of the nuclear industry.

First-year experience (FYE) programs offer librarians opportunities to teach new students in a comprehensive fashion. However, large FYE programs can place demands on user education programs that are difficult to meet. Instruction librarians at the University at Albany sought to address this dilemma by developing a Web-based instructional module for one class session. The module was used by a segment of students in the Project Renaissance FYE program, whereas another segment received instruction by a librarian. The effectiveness of the two instructional methods was compared using pre- and post-tests, and was found to be equal. Analysis of the test scores also showed that instruction, regardless of format, makes a significant difference (p < .05) in the number of correct test answers.

In an attempt to revamp the orientation leader training process, Towson University began using appreciative inquiry (AI) with student leaders to both plan and conduct skilldevelopment workshops. Originally crafted as an organizational development tool, AI served as a powerful way to use the collective wisdom of student leaders and built upon their desires for a more impactful training cycle to create a learning environment that was responsive to new leaders’ needs and provided the skills needed to support new students coming to the university.

Some private universities in Jakarta use TOEFL or TOEFL-like test as the admission requirement for new students.  Therefore, students’ candidates should prepare well to achieve the minimum score for being admitted. Unfortunately, their high school did not give enough training in doing the TOEFL test. The purpose of this community development program is to train high school students to do TOEFL test, especially the Reading section.  The participants of the program were seven 12th grade high school students who were included in ASAK Paroki MKK community.  They were trying to qualify for admission in Binus University.  The program was created in the form of classroom teaching and individual assignment.  In this program, we taught them about the TOEFL Reading test types, strategies and tips for doing the test.  After the training, the students reported their understanding of TOEFL and confidence in preparing the university admission test.

The teaching of sciences needs to be the agent to promote the understanding and dealing with nature, projetcting a better future through observation of the natural phenomena. At UFSM, a public institution, the candidate disponibility rate at the school of sciences is bellow one, expressing a low attractiveness when comparing with a general rate of six candidates approximately for each disponibility for alI carriers available. Only the enhancement of teaching sciences will stimulate young people to think, discusse and to test their observations appropriately. Following this way will avoid the consequente marginalization in a society that cannot any more accept continue at this leveI of technological and scientific dependence. We have been worried about some of the aspects of the university social roles, the looks toward the educational democratization, in the sense of making it acessible to varions social levels, specially of the analizad new students doesn't exert remunerated activities, normally they come from public highschools and are from families with income bellow four minimum salaries. The number of students concluding the sciences course has sherphy decressed, while droping out and failings have increased systematically. It is necessary to develop a critical thinking in teaching sciences in a as large as possible group ps people, since the future society will be rulled by the ones who have learnt this universal language. We cannot minimizate the chance to graduate good professionals to bring up and to promote, beginning at elementary schools, the interest for science, taking the path of analytical though, developing concepts and scientific criteria, increasing the science value itself.
