Abstract:
|
With an understanding of the importance of a successful transition to post-secondary, Mount Royal University assembled a cross-campus team to launch a one-day event for 1000 new students. With a focus on integrating academic advising and peer registration assistance, students (& parents) were welcomed to campus. Institutional challenges, including applicant yield rates and registration patterns, further guided the design of the event. After a brief review of relevant theoretical perspectives, this hot topic presentation will discuss the institutional challenges leading to the event, the history behind its development, a review of the logistics, results (positive and negative), and plans moving forward to establish this new model as the first in a series of orientation and transition events at this undergraduate institution. |
