What happens when faculty and staff from three universities work together over a six-year period to improve programs for first-year students? This book describes what was achieved through the communities of practice created on campus and among campuses and through the process of programmatic self-study, which uses collaboration and evaluation techniques that are widely transferable across projects, programs, and institutions.
