Strong showing from #OSU #HESA at ASEE 2025 this year with @yunhan_weng. Here's to blowing minds and bettering higher education in Montreal!

Less STEM education research means worse STEM education, which means worse and fewer scientists, which means both losing our techno-economic competitiveness, and a reduced quality of life for everyone in the long term. Not smart.

The loss of university control of academic journal publication was a tragedy. It's past time to reverse course. https://t.co/uMcOs93l9v

What is your learning community missing? Perhaps it’s a sense of place. Matthew Johnson, @AmySprowles, Katlin Goldenberg, Steven Margell, and Lisa Castellino find that such communities improve persistence, performance, and belonging. Read about it here: https://t.co/icun3CeAgw

Are first-year seminars all they’re cracked up to be? @kcculver and Nicholas Bowman find that, while they increase short-term satisfaction, they don’t affect retention, graduation, or grades. Get the full story here: https://t.co/1GqubvmedR #highimpactpractices #firstyearseminar

After years of data collection, we have #openaccess evidence that we can inspire undergraduate innovation....look to student affairs as #cocurriculum seems key @NASPAtweets @ACPA @lanemerrifield @UIAinnovation

You know what, I don’t mind that 97.3% of all regulatory actions enforced by college accreditors have nothing to do with student outcomes…

Oh, wait, I do mind. I like really, really mind!

Important research for anyone interested in accreditation. https://t.co/7Qqyz4QOB1

@FrontEducation Rigorous evidence we can turn colleges into engines of innovation. Given the economic downturn, the time to invest and transform is now. Connecting experiences are key to innovative thought and action. @MattJMayhewPhD @benselznick @ChristaEWinkler #highered #EconomicCrisis

Colleges must protect free speech and their students. How do these decisions get made - how should they? @garcesim, @drbdjohnson, @_ambriz_e, and @DwuanaBTweeting share important insights!

More wicked problems are on the horizon folks. But are we working to train the 'wicked students' we need to face them? Check out the new piece by @MattJMayhewPhD @benselznick and myself, and see how we can advance interdisciplinary learning. https://t.co/alJBOvRfvR #STEMed
