About me

Activity

Lynda , You are absolutely correct...having that interaction with the faculty member and seeing their new 'surroundings' is a real benefit. Susan Backofen
James, Involving career services in such a practical way at orientation is a great idea! Susan Backofen
Tracy, This sounds absolutely wonderful! Such energy and cohesiveness among the faculty and staff makes a huge difference. Susan Backofen
Dina-Athena, Sounds like you have a good 'hand off' between admissions and advising, and I really like that the advisors meet with the students weekly. Susan Backofen
Lynda , That is wonderful that you address these issues up front! You mentioned you incorporate humor, how do you do that? Susan Backofen
Kevin, This is a great exercise...haven't read anyone using the three successes as the question. Great idea! Susan Backofen
Kevin, I really like that you have people from industry involved with your students, and especially involved in orientation. I am sure this confirms for the new students they have made a great choice. Susan Backofen
Vanessa , ...me too! And, having some type of celebration after the first module would be appropriate. Those who complete the first session are much more likely to return. Susan Backofen
Cheryl, I really like that this approach is so proactive. Susan Backofen
Ginny, I really like the idea of 1, 3 and 5 year goals for the students. It makes them think longer-term than just getting through a class or their program and focuses them on their real goals. Great idea! Susan Backofen
