Hoori Santikian Kalamkarian is a senior research associate at CCRC. She conducts mixed methods research on advising and student support services. Currently, Kalamkarian is leading a three-year federally funded project examining the support networks of first-generation students at four public colleges in California and how first-generation students seek help when they need it. Previously, Kalamkarian contributed to CCRC’s decade-long multi-phase evaluation of Integrated Planning and Advising for Student Success (iPASS), an approach to advising that uses technology tools to assist with program and course selection and to target support services.
Kalamkarian’s publications include reports and book chapters on advising redesign using technology. Most recently, Kalamkarian led a webinar and co-authored a report describing the student support practices that five iPASS institutions implemented or were actively pursuing in their efforts to improve outcomes among Black, Latinx, and low-income students.
Kalamkarian holds a BA in English and political science from UCLA and a PhD in education policy from Stanford University.
