Improving First-Year Student Experience Programs for At-Risk Students

(Retired) | Last updated November 19, 2014

Overview

First-Year Student Experience (FYSE) programs have been identified as a high-impact practice for increasing student persistence and success. Yet, many student populations remain at risk for attrition because they aren’t getting connected to critical resources when and how they need them most. Are your FYSE programs doing everything they can to strategically support at-risk students to ensure they return to campus for their second year?

Join us for an online training to learn how to maximize your FYSE program’s effectiveness for at-risk student populations. Our expert faculty will walk you through national trends and how to create a localized plan of action on your campus. In addition, you’ll learn how to measure, evaluate, and report outcomes data to ensure your FYSE program is having the greatest impact on student success.

Who should attend?

  • Directors and Coordinators of First-Year Student Experience Programs
