abstract = "This article is the second of a two-part series that examines the utility of higher education research to help guide campus-based interventions to enhance institutional effectiveness. This second article outlines programmatic efforts undertaken to enhance the quality of the first-year experience for new students. It also describes the impact of these interventions on the first-year student experience. The article closes with a summary of the lessons learned from these efforts and delineates a series of recommendations for higher education administrators interested in using the research literature to enhance institutional effectiveness.",

note = "Funding Information: Frosh Up, the cross-functional cluster mentioned earlier, continues to meet and determine how to best deal with emerging issues related to student success and how to make the most effective use of campus resources to address these issues. Except for a core group of academic and student life administrators, its membership changes depending on the issue. For example, when the FIGs program was being developed, the registrar and academic advising units were key players. Now they participate only when relevant issues warrant their consultation and action. Through their primary institutional teaching and administrative assignments, Frosh Up committee members reinforce and connect certain Lilly-related interventions to other campus efforts to improve undergraduate education. One such example is integrating IUB{\textquoteright}s Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) initiative sponsored by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching into the program of the annual spring symposium. Spe- cifically, a dedicated concurrent sessions program track was part of the April 2000 symposium featuring faculty members involved in SOTL presenting various aspects of their work.
