SEM-EP Capstone Project – “SEM Strategies for the Next Decade: Charting the Path for an Elite Midwestern University” is a literature review of recent research applicable to the long-term SEM planning efforts of a selective institution in the Midwest. Changing demographics and population migration will decrease the rate of growth in students and increase competition among elite schools. These institutions will need to expand recruitment strategies by focusing on underrepresented groups and prepare for expansive changes in student support services, pedagogy, and curriculum that will be required when working with new student groups. The articles featured in this literature review include studies looking at differences by race and ethnicity in traditional measures of college readiness, challenges faced by Latino students, and student support services for First-Gen students.
