Growing numbers of institutions have come to recognize the deficiencies in their systems, structures, processes, and practices that disrupt all students having equitable access to high-quality support, services, and academic programming to achieve their postsecondary attainment goals. College leaders have come to realize that today's students do not fit neatly into the historical understanding or model of a traditional college student and that institutions need to change their approaches to serving and ensuring the success of the students they now serve. Many institutions are changing how they operate on behalf of the students they serve and have committed resources to reform or implement new initiatives to improve academic programming, student supports and services, and operational structures and practices. However, the ways through which institutions have approached and navigated change vary, with no single defining model or specific set of guiding steps for institutions to follow and implement. As institutions pay more attention to equity and test new models and ways of serving college students, the field will benefit from a greater understanding of the contexts and conditions in which significant institutional changes to improve college student success are catalyzed and enabled. There is also a need for additional knowledge about the strategies and approaches that these institutions use to implement change, so that they can better assess the needs of the different populations of students they serve, make decisions about where and how to set priorities and invest resources, and coordinate actions across the campus to improve the experiences of and promote equity for students. This report examines institutional transformation (transformation) among the Frontier Set network: a group of 29 colleges, universities, and state systems (institutions) committed to pursuing transformation as a process of deep and pervasive change (Eckel et al., 2001; Kezar & Eckel, 2002). The Frontier Set network was brought together to better understand transformation--what it is and how it happens.
