Topics concerning the adult learner that are relevant to institutional researchers are addressed in four articles: marketing, predicting success for adult students, enrollment projection, and follow-up studies of adult learners. In "Institutional Research in Support of Marketing the Adult Student," Lydia Jurand notes the importance of identifying characteristics of adult learners that differ from the traditional-age student, as well as the use of demographics in assessing an adult audience. George D. Kuh and Larry W. Cracraft identify variables related to adult learner success and make suggestions for further research in "Predicting Adult Learners' Success in Higher Education." A study that examined the participation patterns of adults in credit and noncredit courses is described in "Studying Participation Patterns of Adult Learners: Relevance to Enrollment Management" by Jill F. Campbell, Doe Hentschel, and Louis M. Spiro. Efforts of the State University of New York at Brockport to increase adult enrollment are also briefly noted. Finally, Mantha Viahos Mehallis's article, "Following Up the Adult Learner," describes the student follow-up system at Broward Community College in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The need to use nonconventional methods for follow-up surveys of nontraditional students is addressed. (SW)
