Abstract:
|
Transitioning from high school to college is a significant challenge for many first-year students, especially first-generation students. This presentation focuses on understanding and supporting students during this critical period. Through the 'Game of College,' participants will engage with common scenarios that first-year students face, such as time management, self-care, and academic rigor, while learning how to use campus resources to overcome challenges. Pre- and post-assessments shared will help identify students' concerns as incoming freshmen. By the end of the session, participants will have a deeper understanding of the challenges first-year students face and be better equipped to support them through the transition from high school to college. |
