As we deepen our holdings to support Drexel’s Masters of Science in Higher Education, new gems continue to come to my attention like the following reports from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program at UCLA’s HERI.  The following are printed copies, but get in touch if you need access to the electronic versions of these reports. There are Drexel staff who hold the e-versions of at least some of these who will make the data available for research.

• American freshman : national norms for fall 2008 An annual publication – we also have ’07. For more info about the survey see HERI site here.
• The American freshman : forty year trends, 1966-2006 A cumulative special issue.  For more info see HERI site  here.

Special topic reports:

• Beyond myths : the growth and diversity of Asian American college freshmen, 1971-2005 (2007) More info from HERI site here.
