Prof Kuh accredited with founding some of the most important tools and frameworks used within higher education today has more than 400 publications and made several hundred presentations on topics related to institutional improvement, university student engagement, assessment strategies, and campus cultures. His recent books include Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education (2015), Ensuring Quality and Taking High-Impact Practices to Scale (2013), High Impact Practices (2008), Piecing Together the Student Success Puzzle (2007), and Student Success in College: Creating Conditions That Matter (2005, 2010).
