Help First-Year Students Transition to Sophomore Year with Success
As institutions continue to struggle with enrollment, developing programs that help maintain stable or positive growth in persistence and retention rates is critical.
Join us on February 26, 2025 when our expert presenters will discuss the Getting to Year 2 @ CSU program, a semester-long initiative with events designed to support first-year students as they transition into their second year. The program is designed to help students face the many new challenges and experiences that come with the transition from their first to second year, including exploring off-campus housing, managing a budget and feeding themselves without a meal plan, looking for ways to find community, and getting more in depth in their major.
Help your first year students overcome their anxiety and uneasiness with the unknown, and garner excitement for the new challenges and accomplishments ahead.
Topics Covered
Gain crucial, actionable takeaways that will help you:
- Identify components of programming to support students’ transition to the second year in the second semester of their first year so you can maintain stable or positive growth in persistence and retention rates.
- Identify campus partnerships for programming to help support students’ transition to the second year in the second semester of their first year so you can maximize human and fiscal resources.
- Discover opportunities to intentionally connect first year experience programming with second year experience programming to aid in a seamless transition.
- Strategize for the future direction of programming to support students’ transition to a second year with intentionality – you don’t have to reinvent the wheel!
