100th issue of AAC&U News
 

This month marks the one hundredth issue of AAC&U News. Since 2001, AAC&U News has published ten times a year, providing information on innovative programs at member campuses, data from the latest research on higher education, and a range of perspectives and opinions on undergraduate liberal education. Over the years we’ve brought you results from the National Survey of Student Engagement, NCES studies on faculty work and foreign enrollment, and surveys of political and civic engagement amongst today’s college students, among many other issues. Among the one hundred stories about AAC&U member campuses and how they are transforming liberal education for the twenty-first century, we’ve highlighted the Honors Scholars program at Highline Community College, inclusive excellence at Wheaton College, and the comprehensive reorganization and assessment of undergraduate learning at the University of Cincinnati. See all one hundred feature stories in the AAC&U News archives and stay tuned for more in our next one hundred issues.
