This program allows first-year students to earn credit for gaining academic skills, exploring the community and connecting with campus staff and resources.
Compared to their peers, students who completed the seminar reported a higher sense of belonging, well-being and connection to the campus community. Data showed they also earned higher GPAs, used campus resources at a higher rate and were more likely to return for the spring semester.
