This book, The Undergraduate Experience: Focusing Institutions on What Matters Most, examines key aspects crucial for effective higher education. Authored by experienced educators, it highlights six core themes: what matters most, learning, relationships, expectations, alignment, and improvement. The text uses case studies and research to illustrate these themes and provides action principles and reflective questions for institutional leaders, faculty, and staff. Ultimately, the authors advocate for a student-centered, mission-driven institutional culture characterized by continuous improvement and a focus on creating meaningful undergraduate experiences for all students. The book offers a framework for enhancing undergraduate education by emphasizing intentionality and collaboration across various campus stakeholders.
