Abstract

To augment university wide retention efforts, we developed a unique first-year seminar experience to enhance student interactions with peers, faculty, and staff; increase their sense of belonging; and help them integrate into the college culture. Presenters will share the results and recommendations on how other schools might utilize this initiative.
