National Symposium on Postsecondary Student Success

The NPEC 2006 National Symposium on Postsecondary Student Success is a 3-day forum on what constitutes success and what factors impact the chances of success for different types of students in different types of postsecondary institutions. Symposium objectives include synthesizing what is currently known about student success, adding to that body of knowledge, identifying a research agenda to effectively support policymaking, and fostering future national efforts in this area. The format focuses on panel and participant discussions with and among noted researchers in the field, federal, state, and institution decisionmakers; and legislative policymakers.
