First-Year
For almost three decades, campuses have focused on first-year experience
programs as a way to improve the retention and success of new college
students. While excellent courses and programs exist, including
first year seminars, learning communities and extensive orientations,
many agree that these programs could be strengthened by working
in more institutionally cohesive ways to assure the success of all
students.
Deeping Students' Academic and Civic Engagement: The First College
Year as Pivot was a workshop to help faculty, administrators and
staff think through the needs and interests of first-year students
while exploring how academic and civic engagement strategies contribute
to student success
