Meg Wright Sidle, Ph.D., director of institutional research and effectiveness at Pikeville College, has been recognized nationally for her literary and research contributions to the NASPA Journal. NASPA is the leading voice for student affairs administration, policy and practice. Sidle’s article, “The Freshman Year Experience: Student Retention and Student Success,” originally appeared in a 1998 volume of the publication but has been selected for reprint in one of two compilation issues featuring the top 10 most downloaded and top 10 most cited journal articles since 1980. Sidle shares the honor with co-author, the late Janet McReynolds.
