Congratulations to Aaron Hanlin who on Monday, June 2, 2025, successfully defended his dissertation. The title of Aaron’s dissertation is: "STUDENT-FACULTY ENGAGEMENT AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES: A QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF HONORS AND NON-HONORS FACULTY."
The purpose of this quantitative study was to compare honors and non-honors community college faculty’s levels of student engagement. Using data from 3,819 faculty members based on the Community College Survey of Faculty Student Engagement (CCFSSE), the extent to which specific types and overall engagement increases amongst honors faculty is assessed. A series of regression analyses revealed that honors faculty are more likely to include student presentations in the classroom, provide feedback to students, and spend time with students on activities other than coursework even after controlling for other demographic characteristics. These findings are considered in the context of existing research and provide recommendations for practice and future research.
