A project to evaluate and study student development programs in all community colleges in Illinois is discussed. The project included a number of individual studies on various aspects of student development programs. The major study focused on the scope and quality of student development programs as perceived by students, faculty, and student development staffs. Other studies focused on exceptional practices, student involvement in governance, and the perception of student development programs by key administrators. The exceptional practices in the student development programs relate to academic support services, academic uplift services, admissions and records, college organization, community services, counseling, evaluation, experimental colleges, financial aids and placement, human potential groups, orientation, and student activities. Two appendixes provide a list of the interviewers and community colleges interviewed and a memorandum related to the Interviewer Project. (DB)
