Optimizing Student-Institution Fit: An Interactionist Perspective.
Williams, Terry E.
College and University, v61 n2 p141-52 Win 1986
The concept of student-institution fit includes much more than institutional searches for students with predetermined characteristics based on the characteristics of graduates. It requires a broad interactionist perspective, links with an institution-wide student retention plan, realistic information dissemination, and response to existing student-institution mismatches.
