Abstract:
|
The Whole First Year: Reimagining the Journey to a College Degree
[Anonymized] University has experienced unprecedented growth and success over the last decade. Recent data show, however, that our new students are grossly underperforming, resulting in twice as many students in danger of being on academic probation after their first year. In an effort to interrupt this trend, our team has redesigned programs and initiatives across the first-year undergraduate lifecycle: onboarding, orientation, registration and enrollment. Participants will hear how we are reframing the first year to include intrusive advising and success-driven programs that guide a historically underserved student population through their first year in college. They will then share their own stories of successes for first-year students as we identify best practices in transitioning this new generation into the undergraduate experience. |
