A POTENTIAL HORROR STORY FOR RESEARCHERS: NON-CONVERGENCE OF SOME OF THE MODELS FIT USING MULTIPLY IMPUTED DATASETS
Multiple imputation (MI) is a method used for replacing missing values with a set of plausible values. MI leads to multiple datasets as well as multiple sets of results which are then pooled to get final parameter estimates. This study focuses on pooling parameters where some of the sets of results are based on non-convergent models.

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF PRE-COLLEGE PROGRAMS ON INCOMING FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS’ SENSE OF BELONGING
Sense of belonging is an important factor towards the retention of college students, especially, freshmen students. Interventions can be used in order to increase sense of belonging such as pre-enrollment programs. This study examined 15 pre-college programs and their effects on the development of sense of belonging for incoming freshmen students.

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTICULATING RESEARCH DESIGN
The role of research design in generating the evidence we need to answer the research questions we have is an often neglected part of the research process. This oral presentation attempts to provide researchers with a means of articulating research design, with the hope of bringing the evidence we collect into alignment with our research questions.

KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT HIGHER EDUCATION: EXAMINATION OF I KNOW I CAN BLUEPRINT: COLLEGE PROGRAM
To evaluate the effectiveness of I Know I Can Blueprint: College program, statistical tests were conducted to estimate the significance of group differences. Results suggest parents gained information about college preparation, but did not translate it to behavioral differences with their student. Further implications and discussion are included.
