Abstract:
|
Recently, we proposed a program for helping first year students build a strong foundation for their academic careers and beyond (NACADA, 2015). Our program involves 4 biannual informational/networking seminars dedicated to teaching first year students how to succeed in college. These topics include degree planning, degree evaluations, registration advice and high-impact opportunities. The program also includes an introduction to our Career Center, and discussion of research opportunities offered by our departmental faculty. These seminars are aimed to help equip students with skills that promote successful goal pursuit. They also provide an opportunity for many meaningful peer interactions during the student's first year of college. This presentation aims to introduce this model to NACADA, and will present preliminary findings supporting the programs efficacy. |
