Summary:

Freshman orientation typically lasts just a week. These days, however, it's increasingly clear that first-year students need more-sustained support for the transition to college. They may be overwhelmed by the new environment and lost without the structure of high school. They may be adults trying to balance academic work with family and job responsibilities. They may struggle - especially since the Covid-19 pandemic - to do college-level coursework and make social connections. Fortunately, many colleges have figured out ways to offer more support. Whether it's to help students meet academic, social, or wellness challenges, the strategies in this report will help them succeed and your college flourish.
