Act Six: The Institutional Perspective
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v29 n1 p61-81 2020
The Act Six program includes full-need, full-tuition student scholarships, extensive training and preparation for students prior to matriculation, and mentorship throughout their time on campus. The purpose of this research was to explore institutional decisions and implications in initiating and sustaining an Act Six partnership. Through an exploratory case analysis design, the views of staff, faculty, and administrators at four Act Six partner universities, as well as institutional documents and data, were explored. Ultimately, this initiative appears to be one successful strategy for developing the institutional capacity to respond to the significant changes in student demographic trends, while honoring the biblical call and developing a justice orientation toward diversity.
