DISSERTATION
ABSTRACTS
Over the past decade
that the Michigan Study Student Project has been in existence,
we have, with great pleasure, engaged and involved undergraduate
and graduate students representing many academic disciplines,
backgrounds and interests. We are extremely proud of the fact
that students have played an integral part in developing our
survey instruments, conducting interviews and focus groups
and collecting and analyzing data.
A major highlight
of the study is that to date, eight dissertations - including
several that have received national awards and recognition
-have been based on analyses of the quantitative and qualitative
data of the Michigan Student Study. These dissertations have
contributed significantly to the body of literature on diversity
in the national forum. We are also confident that the individuals
who completed their doctorate will continue to make strides
toward becoming outstanding higher education faculty, administrators
and institutional researchers. We appreciate all that they
have done to make this study successful.
