What is the duration of the study and how will I be involved in future assessments/interviews?
The Wabash National Study will take place over four years, from fall 2008 until spring 2012. We may conduct a follow-up study after this date, but we will only contact those students who agree to participate in the follow-up phase.
Every student in the Wabash National Study will participate in three rounds of assessments. The first round is in fall 2008, the second round will be held in spring 2009, and the final round will be in spring 2012.
