Civic Engagement at the Center: Building a Democracy through Integrated Cocurricular and Curricular Experiences
Informed by the work of the Bonner Foundation, Civic Engagement at the Center highlights developmental models for students' civic learning and socially responsible leadership implemented at 77 campuses.

Why Do I Have to Take This Course? A Student Guide to Making Smart Educational Choices
This practical guide, written for undergraduate students, is intended to take some of the mystery out of curricular requirements and educate students about what really matters in college -- the broad learning outcomes developed over the entire course of their undergraduate years.

Assessment in Cycles of Improvement: Faculty Designs for Essential Learning Outcomes
This publication features a series of reports on how selected colleges and universities foster and assess student learning in twelve liberal education outcome areas. Moving from goals to experiences, assessments, and improvements driven by assessment data, each institutional story illustrates how complex learning can be shaped over time and across programs to bring students to higher levels of achievement of these important outcomes.
