Carol Lundberg’s research interests focus on college success for underrepresented and/or underserved populations, particularly students of color and economically disadvantaged students. She uses a quantitative approach to analyze national databases, primarily the College Student Experiences Questionnaire, to identify the types and quality of student involvement with faculty, peers, and academic endeavors that most strongly predict learning and achievement in college. She teaches courses in quantitative analysis, program evaluation, college student characteristics and experiences, and designing learning experiences. With a professional background in student affairs, she seeks to introduce aspiring student affairs practitioners to effective practices in program creation, evaluation, and assessment, with a focus on students whose cultural/economic/gender backgrounds have been traditionally underserved in higher education. She is actively involved in the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) and the Association for College Student Administrators (ACPA).
