Using statewide administrative data from North Carolina, this study employs a cross-classified multilevel model to investigate the impact that a student’s community college and four-year transfer institution have on post-transfer success. Our findings offer important and compelling insights into the relationship between transfer students, the community college they attended, the four-year transfer institution, and educational outcomes. While individual effects were small, we find several institutional factors associated with student success. Attendance at a large community college or having a public university in the same county as their community college is positively associated with student success, whereas size of the university is negatively related to grades during the first year and persistence to the second year. While the four-year institution’s selectivity is negatively related to many of our outcomes, transferring to a Historically Black College or University is positively associated with GPA, college persistence, and degree completion.}, number={9}, journal={COMMUNITY COLLEGE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND PRACTICE}, author={Umbach, Paul D. and Tuchmayer, Jeremy B. and Clayton, Ashley B. and Smith, Kathleen N.}, year={2019}, pages={599–617} }

Effective control and prevention of diseases like malaria and dengue fever requires integrated research in order to understand these problems within their social and cultural contexts. This type of interdisciplinary research was recently endorsed by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2013) as critical for developing effective solutions for the world’s problems. Adopting such an interdisciplinary approach, we discuss various social, cultural, and ethical issues related to the control of dengue fever and malaria, especially those pertaining to the potential use of transgenic technologies.}, journal={Genetic Control of Malaria and Dengue}, author={Antonelli, T. and Clayton, A. and Hartzog, M. and Webster, S. and Zilnik, G.}, year={2016}, pages={1–30} }
