HAYNESWORTH (CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY) College success and degree attainment inequities exist between students of marginalized backgrounds and those from more privileged backgrounds. Summer bridge programs have been successful in preparing students for college success. Using mixed-methods, we evaluated the effectiveness of a summer bridge program with a newly-instituted residential component. We found improvements in participants' sense of belonging and success skills. Students reported positive experiences with the residential component, underscoring its potential as a model for other bridge programs.8:15am %u2013 8:25amREDUCING COLOR-BLIND RACIAL ATTITUDES AND CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF CAMPUS CLIMATENORDIA SCOTT (STOCKTON UNIVERSITY) The purpose of this study was to investigate change over time in color-blind racial attitudes and perceptions of campus climate, as well as the relationship between the two variables. Results revealed significant reductions in color-blind racial attitudes, particularly for the total CoBRAS score and the unawareness of racial privilege subscale.

I will include ways to maximize the benefits for faculty and students, considerations for when to make a class partially versus fully SPECS graded, and how to avoid the pitfall of endless grading. I will also present data showing shifts in student perceptions of this approach.8:45am %u2013 8:55amTHE LIFE, DEATH, AND LIFE AFTER DEATH OF THE SPLIT-HALF RELIABILITY COEFFICIENTKURT GEISINGER (UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA -LINCOLN) This research went through four editions of the Buros Mental Measurement Series. These four volumes were all approximately 16 years apart and averaged including 325.5 tests reviewed in each volume. Reliability data are provided in the Yearbooks as they are provided in test manuals. Then the volumes were compared in terms of how reliability was assessed. The data show that the use of these coefficients has not declined.Friday, March 7, 20259:10am %u2013 10:10am Keynote Westside Ballroom 1 & 2PRESIDENTIAL INVITED KEYNOTE: KRISTIN GILLESPIE-LYNCHFriday, March 7, 20259:10am %u2013 10:10amCHAIR: PATRICIA BROOKS THE NEURODIVERSITY MOVEMENT: EXPLORING HISTORY, CONTROVERSIES, AND POSSIBILITIES TO PROMOTE POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTKRISTEN GILLESPIE-LYNCH (CUNY GRADUATE CENTER AND COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND) Autistic people reframe the diagnostic category \,\ once conceptualized as an innate inability to connect socially, into a social identity which they use 20
