Higher Education in Review (HER) is pleased to announce its call for papers for Volume 12.

HER is an independent, refereed journal published by graduate students of the Higher
Education Program at the Pennsylvania State University. Our mission is to make a
substantive contribution to the higher education literature through the publication of high-
quality research studies, scholarly papers, and literature reviews in areas related to the
university, the four-year college, the community college, and other institutions of higher
learning. In so doing, we provide graduate students first-hand experience with the
publishing process.

Our print journal is distributed to leading higher education graduate programs nation-wide
and is electronically available, free of charge, on our web site. First authors must be currently-
enrolled graduate students or have written their manuscript during graduate school.
Graduate students from a variety of disciplines and fields (e.g., education, sociology,
economics, law, and psychology) are encouraged to submit their work for consideration.
Submissions are accepted year-round.

Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions you may have
regarding Higher Education in Review. We look forward to receiving your submission!
