"It energizes people to want to learn more and go out in the world and grab it by the throat." Not every student or graduate used the word "motivation," but many described the same idea: There was an identifiable moment in which a faculty member created a spark in them; students became energized or excited by a topic, an idea, or a discipline.

Statistics says two-thirds of fourth-year students said their motivation stayed the same or declined while they were in college, according to the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, which surveyed in its first cohort 2,200 students who enrolled in 2006 in 17 public and private, and small and large colleges around the country. Twenty-seven percent showed moderate to high growth in academic motivation, while 7 percent exhibited low growth. 1. Explain. Some recent research shows that many
