Course description: This course is designed to promote reflection and support transition to college for students who belong to cohorts that may face particular challenges in stepping up to higher education. For example, such cohorts may include students who are first generation immigrants, veterans, Native, formerly incarcerated, or who have a disability. By developing their institutional knowledge about higher education in general and 蹤獲扦 in particular, by reflectively examining their life course and particular challenges in the context of the liberal arts and sciences disciplines, and by working with faculty and staff to facilitate the transition into college, students will prepare for entry into a degree program at 蹤獲扦. This course is not a substitute for the First Year Seminar. This semester our focus is prospective students who have a criminal record.
