启动强程序

提供了一个 早开始走向成功 去年秋天为16名一年级学生准备的. Start Strong向学生介绍大学 campus life while diving deeper into some of the common 过渡 挑战 experienced by 第一年 students, " It is like the short, safe version of the beginning of the 第一年." Students gained a more in-depth understanding of what to expect in college and what would be expected of them, completed a formal assessment of their study habits/skills and heard tips from student leaders on how to balance school with other demands. 

2023秋季启动强计划 

尽早开始你的成功. Students will be expected to complete a series of self-paced modules built in Canvas 整个学期的前八周. 每周一次的亲自“路边”检查站  将所有的参与者聚集在一起的乐趣和活动. Start Strong计划 uses the metaphor of a road trip for getting through college’s tougher 过渡 挑战. This metaphorical road trip gives students an entirely different way to 看大学经历. 所以,拿起你的背包,跳上车,摇下车窗.                       

现在是自驾游时间!
