Abstract:
|
Gaps between low-and high-income students who complete college has increased over the past decade. Transfer students at most institutions are classified as low-income and typically first generation college students. These students come to four-year institutions without knowing what to expect in terms of effort, without having the knowledge to navigate the complexity of a new institution, and often without the academic background or social support needed to be successful. Vincent Tinto argues that institutions must create four institutional conditions for students to be successful in college. After a review of the institutional data used to create a case for support, this presentation will provide programming concepts and components of a new transfer student orientation and comprehensive advising system for engineering students built on Tinto's framework for college student success. |
