Priorities, Partnerships, Peers & Perseverance: Scaling Up First-Year Courses

Growing transition courses is difficult and working toward a campus-wide requirement can feel impossible! In this session, learn how retention staff at one institution navigated the campus bureaucracy, capitalized on institutional priorities, built academic partnerships, and persevered to scale up first-year courses fast – moving from serving 35% of the freshmen class to 93% the following year. You’ll also analyze curricular opportunities on your campus and learn from peers in the session.

Campus Collaboration Roundtable

Our work as OTR professionals does not occur in a vacuum. Whether we are implementing full-scale orientation programs or specialized transition programs for different populations, the success of our work often depends on collaboration with partners across campus. In this roundtable session, participants will be able to share successes and challenges with campus collaboration and discuss ways to promote and strengthen collaborative efforts with campus partners to support student transition.
