Abstract: The article presents a special issue of The Learning Assistance Review that highlights foundational articles from Research in Learning Assistance and Developmental Education (RiLADE), emphasizing its role in promoting equity and student success in learning assistance and developmental education. It honors the contributions of RiLADE’s founder, Hunter R. Boylan, whose extensive work has shaped the field through research-informed practices and advocacy for access and equity. The issue includes reprinted articles that reflect these core values and features an original study by Todd Spellman, which explores the reasons behind low utilization of coaching services despite high student awareness. Overall, the collection aims to inspire ongoing reflection and action within the field. [Extracted from the article]
