  This trend, an indication of a larger philosophical concern related to the pragmatic value and use of a college experience, relates broadly to divisions of student affairs and specifically to the programming available to college students. Orientation programs are an important mechanism for the transition of new students to the collegiate setting, and often are relied upon to serve as a means for the institution to convey common expectations to new students (Gardner & Hansen, 1993).

  However, it is well known by researchers that community college transfer students report difficulty transitioning between the two institutional systems (Ellis, 2013; Gerhardt & Ackerman, 2014; Harrison, 1999; Owens, 2010; Schmitigal, 2010; Wilson, 2014) and therefore, giving community college students many opportunities to connect to a campus is important. Using an ethnographic study design, twelve faculty were interviewed to describe the culture, the perception of the students’ experiences with the university, and the institutional policies that applied to community college transfer students.

Similarly, institutions will want to be careful not to promote or endorse campus rituals that are, at best, deleterious to the well-being of the institution, and at worst, exclusive and even demeaning. • Examine the language and messages that are sent by the college community before, during, and after campus rituals, noticing any themes that emerge.

  Student veterans who attended an orientation session with veteran- specific content (Group C) reported a statistically significant increase in their sense of mattering to their school over student veterans who did not attend any orientation session (Group A), allowing us to assert a positive relationship between a student veteran-specific orientation experience with an increased sense of mattering to their school for the student veterans who were surveyed. Using quasi- experimental research design, and Schlossberg’s constructs of mattering and marginality in higher education as a lens, this study sought to discover if student veterans experienced differing levels of mattering to their schools when categorized by the type of orientation they attended.

summary:
  Beginning college students need time to mature developmentally, to familiarize themselves with the college curriculum, to explore their options, and to discover their educational and vocational identity. Legislative budgetary pressure to expedite students’ time to graduation, coupled with the pre professional program accrediting agencies adding more course requirements for accreditation in their specialized field, are combining to put more pressure on new students to make early and perhaps premature decisions about committing to a college major.

  Differences in the "Inclusion Need Orientation" of Students from a Historically Black University Versus Predominantely White Institutions

summary:
  One of the keys to academic success for college students is feeling connected to their institutions by being actively involved in both academic and out-of-class activities (Bagayoko & Kelley, 1994; Datnow & Cooper, 1997). Although there has been considerable literature published on the comparison of HBCUs and PWIs, no research has been done using the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation (FIRO) theory developed by Schutz to identify differences in inclusion behaviors among college students at these institutions.

summary:

Six selected factors that represent academic success and timely completion for community college and FTIC student graduates were: (a) changes in major, (b) cumulative semesters completed to graduate, (c) final GPA, (d) number of 1000 and 2000 level hours taken at the senior institution, (e) number of breaks in continuous enrollment (stop out), and (f) total semesters enrolled.

  Although the body of literature offers great insight into factors that are linked to college student success, the majority of studies have focused on the relationship between student factors (age, ACT score) and academic outcomes in college (college GPA, retention) without reference to student perceptions about these factors and outcomes. A weak correlational relationship also exists between age and academic success; as age goes up, GPA goes up for college students (Ross, 2003).

Additionally, while theory and previous research on undeclared and undecided students suggest that “decidedness” may be an important factor in student persistence (e.g., Gordon, 1998; 2007), having a career goal or major selected did not increase likelihood to persist among FYFT or transfer undeclared students.

summary:
  In terms of linkages between program participation and significantly higher-than-average graduate school enrollment among McNair students, Thomas cited three factors: 1) the importance of supervised research with a faculty member who directly interacted with the student, 2) ongoing mentoring opportunities with an experienced faculty member, and 3) the availability of a skilled academic advisor who could familiarize the student with graduate school opportunities and assist with the application process—especially with applying for financial aid.

  During the same time period, much of the research informing institutional practices for college student retention began to reflect a broader individualistic societal values system, viewing students as independent, autonomous, self-reliant, and loosely coupled with their peers (Farber et al., 2020; Love, 2018). The conceptual framework for this meta-synthesis highlights some of the collective societal benefits of college student retention, signaling a shift from individual responsibility and benefit to collective responsibility and benefit (Lambert Snodgrass & Acheson-Clair, 2020).

  Due to a paucity of research on mandatory computer programs, little is known about student technical competence to use computers for academic tasks. A survey of orientation professionals agreed that programs should consider student technical competence, include on-line demonstrations, and consider introducing students to campus technical support services, but they were slightly less agreeable on the matter requiring a technical component during orientation (Miller & Viajar, 2001).

  This Research that We are Doing is Just the Beginning of the Conversation”: Undergraduate Researchers Enacting Literacies of Relationality

flesch:
  We extend theoretical perspectives of critical listening and storying with undergraduate researchers of Color as they conducted a Youth Participatory Action Research inquiry. Undergraduate researchers designed, analyzed, and shared findings of their photovoice project examining their transition experiences to a PwI. We asked: what literacy activities do undergraduate researchers of Color enact during the photovoice project; and how are undergraduate researchers’ literacy activities shaping and, in turn, shaped by contexts of relationality? We conceptually frame our work as extending notions of quilting across African Diaspora women’s communities. We discuss how undergraduate co-researchers enact literacies of relationality while examining transition experiences of first-year students of Color. This stance-taking considers how educational communities including teachers, teacher educators, education researchers, and student affairs educators may meaningfully incorporate knowledge, perspectives, and questions of preservice teachers of Color, which are an integral part of transition experiences of undergraduate researchers and future teachers.

These findings drove larger recommendations centered around a 3rd version of our Community Learning Model (CLM), where learning strategies are sequenced to maximize student learning.

Findings revealed that participating in the SBP positively influenced students’ college experiences and ultimately their persistence to graduation. Recommendations drawn from the study are offered to higher education staff and administrators interested in starting or improving summer bridge or similar programs.

Findings suggest the need for single points of contact on college campuses, uniformity of supports and information available to liaisons, students, and families.

We analyze the return on investment for student retention efforts at a four-year public university by applying a predictive and proactive retention model. We also discuss ensuring accessibility to services, diagnosing student intervention, and considering subsequent engagement behaviors.

  College student retention and completion rates correlate with the production of societal benefits such as community engagement, human capital, diverse campus communities, and social mobility. While ideas vary, most contemporary retention practices and strategies rely on foundational studies that focus on individualism, the student-institution relationship, and inhibiting factors to student integration into a collegiate environment. This meta-synthesis examines the individualistic nature of foundational historic and contemporary retention theories and practices as well as recommends a collectivist, culturally-responsive alternative paradigm for retention theory and strategy development moving forward.

Participants received a one-time grant in the fall of 2017, with award amounts ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. Grant recipients' retention rates exceeded the control group by small margins. However, these grants failed to make a difference only among the few grantees already in academic jeopardy. For grant recipients who had early GPAs of at least 1.5 prior to receiving financial awards, term-to-term retention rates surpassed the control group by a substantial, expected, and statistically significant margin.

However, despite it being nearly 100 years since our seminal text, The Student Personnel Point of View (American Council on Education, 1937), was published, we rarely take time to revisit and critique the theories informing our work. In Rethinking College Student Development Theory Using Critical Frameworks, Elisa S. Abes, Susan R. Jones, and D-L Stewart do just that by directing the work toward practitioners and avoiding the frequently inaccessible academic jargon associated with theory.

flesch:
  COVID-19 exacerbated a multitude of challenges facing institutions of higher education. The abrupt transition to virtual programming and support services substantially impacted how students lived, learned, and stayed connected to their campus environments. With this shift, one institution reimagined their orientation programming to prioritize advancing community well-being through a student-centered and equity-minded approach. These frameworks informed the strategy for helping students understand the interconnectedness of health and well-being topics as they matriculate into, and engage with, the campus community. This initiative increased students’ knowledge, confidence, and intention to support themselves and their peers as they transition to the college environment.

  One mid-sized public flagship institution in the Mountain West was forced to abandon a brand-new marquee orientation and transition program, which had contributed to the first increase in first-time student retention numbers in a decade. As educators around the world were faced with similar challenges, three main concerns arose for this school: cancellation of all in-person instruction and events indefinitely in March 2020, a long-term downward trend in enrollment and retention, and a lack of adequate space to host in-person orientation activities. This paper seeks to discuss the ways in which these obstacles were overcome, and share the important lessons learned for consideration as colleges and universities continue to grapple with the uncertainty of onboarding our next cohort of students in fall 2021.

  When we met in November of 2019 to hold our annual orientation brainstorming session, our New Student &amp; Family Programs (NSFP) staff dreamed of additional small groups, affinity group spaces, revamped evening programming, and increased opportunities for student connections. Four short months and many hours of planning/training later, we found ourselves in a similar brainstorming session. Except this time, it was late March, we were facing a global pandemic, and we had just shifted our orientation season completely online in response to COVID-19. Like most orientation, transition, and retention professionals around the world, we found ourselves devastated and overwhelmed. We had a very short turnaround time (18 days), but one thing was essential for us—we would preserve as much student/family engagement and interaction as possible. In this article, we explore the decision-making process, methods, action steps, and considerations for implementing a virtual orientation that embraced student and familial engagement despite the global pandemic.

  This paper explores the work the Student Transitions and Family Engagement (STFE) team did to convert dynamic in-person experiences into virtual programs, advising, and courses. These opportunities were framed through the lenses of Academic and Social Integration (Tinto, 1975; Braxton et al., 2004), Belonging (Strayhorn, 2019), and Transition Theory (Schlossberg, 1981). The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in every sector of business and higher education and student affairs was not immune to these effects. The unprecedented disturbances to business-as-normal forced student affairs professionals to find innovative ways to welcome new students into their universities. This article details the monumental programmatic changes employed, as well as the challenges faced and lessons learned by the New Student Orientation and First-Year Experiences teams at the University of Colorado Denver. While catalyzed by unfortunate circumstances and necessity, many of the new ideas and methods developed during 2020 will be adopted as mainstays in STFE’s suite of operations and programmatic offerings.

  Realizing the Full Potential of Orientation as a Process: Practitioner Perspectives on One University’s Pandemic Response for Orientation Efforts

pages:
[cell repeats an earlier one in this file: 152 characters]

  The COVID-19 pandemic forced our institution to question how we deliver information to new students. Prior to the pandemic, our students attended an in-person, day-and-a-half orientation program in the summer before their first semester. With the transition to a virtual program format, our institution identified the most critical information delivered in our single-event model and converted that one event to a more purposeful process, complete with pre-orientation modules, a live virtual event, and post-orientation modules. This article shares specific details about the steps taken in the transition to a three-phased orientation experience, outlines the final product of each phase, and discusses future implications for our practice. Specific emphasis is placed on individualized program elements for students, new family and guest programming, and the work of student leaders in a virtual format. Finally, we share advice for professionals and lessons learned that will impact how we approach orientation in the future as we establish a philosophy of orientation as a process, not a program.

  Institutions value knowledge about programs and services that are most effective at enhancing the collegiate experience, particularly sense of belonging and mattering for their students. The knowledge has become more pivotal due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact and as a result, the transitioning of most programs and services to a virtual environment. This study employs machine learning methods to analyze Fall Welcome survey data from Fall 2019 and Fall 2020. The purposes are threefold: 1) identify, rank, and contrast the top contributors to sense of belonging and mattering; 2) to understand quantitatively the impact of the pandemic on students’ welcoming experience; 3) to introduce and review an AI leveraged analytical visualization tool for key influencer analysis. Results indicated there has been a sharp decline in students’ connection, belonging, and mattering from fall 2019 to fall 2020 due to the pandemic. The opportunities to build connections, have an overall positive move-in experience and welcome experience are the three most common and significant contributors to students’ high level of belonging and mattering.

Social Work is uniquely positioned to play a key role for these programs. Social Workers can offer advocacy, clinical work, education, and scholarship to aid in the implementation of peer mentorship programs and integration of college student veterans on campus.

  African American Student Success and First-Year Seminars:: Examining the Impact of First-Year Seminars on African American Students at a Private University

flesch:
  The purpose of this study was to examine the retention and academic performance of African American students who participate in a first-year seminar course and persist past the first year of college compared to those who do not participate in the course. Higher education scholars point to first-year seminars as means of increasing retention or persistence from first to second year (Jaijairam, 2016). It is also salient to note the body of literature conveys that African American students are retained at a lower rate than their White counterparts (Johnson, 2013). These factors present a unique opportunity to explore approaches to retention past the first year of college that may positively affect African American students. This quantitative study sought to uncover the impact of a first-year seminar course on the retention of African American students past their first year at one urban university in the Northeast region of the United States.

Kania and Kramer’s theory of collective impact and Bensimon and Malcom’s equity scorecard are used as dual lenses through which partners should approach these efforts. This framework encourages practitioners to adopt innovative ways to center equity and carries specific implications for admissions and retention professionals.

We found significant positive associations between Academic Integration and Intentions to Persist for all ethnic groups, but group differences in Social Integration and Intentions to Persist. Additionally, Intentions to Persist was a significant predictor of actual persistence for all groups, suggesting predictive power overall.

  “I Felt Like Nothing I Did Prepared Me”:: The Experiences of Engineering Transfer Students on Academic Probation

flesch:
  Transfer students face a variety of challenges when matriculating to a four-year institution. While literature highlights a number of factors that impact transfer student adjustment, many engineering transfer students struggle with academics. As a result, these students are placed on academic probation. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of engineering transfer students who were placed on academic probation during their first year at a four-year institution. Using a conceptual framework developed based on Laanan’s (2001) research on transfer student adjustment and O’Banion’s (1972, 2009) description of developmental advising, this article presents narrative findings from five student participants and concludes with recommendations for practitioners who are seeking to support transfer students facing academic difficulty.

  The Novel Virus, COVID-19, has changed many aspects of current lifestyles including school closures, remote learning, and shuttered businesses (Fegert et al, 2020). Data generated from this study focused on how current policy regarding the COVID-19 response for the university provided the supports needed for students. University response included mask mandates, remote learning, and limitations on all social activities. First year freshman students, who attended a 4-year institute in Southeast US, spent a year presenting their lived experiences of college life to researchers. Participants discussed the struggles and stress that the pandemic placed on their college experiences. Key results found that despite the many obstacles that the pandemic has caused, and limitations placed by safety policies, these students were demonstrating resilience to these obstacles and forging forward in their educational career. Implications of this research provided data to university leaders on the effects of their pandemic response as they move into the endemic.

  Higher education retention research has taken on renewed importance in recent years with support for standardized entrance exams waning and student loan debts commanding social and political attention. Economic pressures have further exasperated college attrition and push researchers to better identify at-risk students before they experience academic difficulty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predictive quality of precollege academic motivation, self-efficacy for learning, learner autonomy, and perceived social support on first-semester academic outcome. Participants completed established surveys assessing the four variables prior to the start of the Fall 2021 semester. Fall semester academic outcome was obtained at the conclusion of the semester with students naturally differentiating into one of two categories: satisfactory academic standing or academic probation. Discriminant analysis was performed to determine if the four predictor variables could reliably predict first-semester academic outcome. Results indicated that the variables could accurately predict first-semester academic outcomes with 77.8% classification accuracy. Academic motivation was found to have a negligible predictive impact with self-efficacy for learning, learner autonomy, and perceived social support maintaining the same predictive accuracy in its absence. Implications for admissions and academic support practice are discussed.

flesch:
  The paper uses an experimental approach to investigate whether co-curricular first-year experience programming can have a positive impact on student success related attitudes, skills, and behaviors for first-year university students. We argue that co-curricular first-year experience training in first-year seminars are comparable to stand-alone first year seminars. Using an experimental study design, we found that students who receive a co-curricular first year feel they have more success in understanding the course material, academic performance, managing time, working in groups, and relating to their professors, compared to their counterparts in the control group. Interestingly, we also found that these students achieved a higher level of academic performance during the semester when learning transitioned from in person to online learning. These results suggest that co-curricular training not only helps students develop attitudes, skills, and behaviors associated with student success, but also helps students to work more effectively in online learning environments.

  One barrier to student success and retention is not seeking help before a problem becomes unmanageable. The focus of this paper is to describe how the implementation of a social capital development program integrated with institutional problem normalization may lead to student success and retention. Through the implementation of these two small, cost-effective interventions institutions can increase student success and retention by helping students reduce stigma about seeking help, increasing ease in communication, and address problems before they become unmanageable. A five-part example is introduced to develop institutional problem normalization and the shared burden of student success is demonstrated.

  This article presents a proposal aimed at conceiving a different model of attention to and characterization of teachers during their formative process and in their pedagogical practice in correspondence with the new 21st-century educational paradigms. The learning community refers to a project based on a set of successful educational actions that were aimed at social and educational transformation (Elboj &amp; Oliver, 2003). That is, it refers to the educational model that is in line with theories highlighting the key factors for learning, both in interactions and community participation, with the intention of involving people directly or indirectly and influencing the academic development of students regardless of their educational level. From this perspective, the learning community is a transformative project that proposes a dual objective: (a) to respond to the needs of the system and (b) to facilitate interaction among the participants.

  An Educational Journey to Deanship: A Memoir is the story of Dr. Terence Hicks’s journey through the education system and into professional success—a journey facilitated by effective mentors and role models. Hicks, a Black man, is the son of parents who were products of the racially segregated school system of Prince Edward County, Virginia, where government officials chose to close public schools for 5 years rather than address educational inequities. He describes a pathway to educational and professional success that is not highlighted as frequently as it should be. In reflecting on the influences that shaped his journey to two academic deanships, Hicks underscores the importance of role modeling and mentorship and offers lessons and guidance for others aspiring to become academic administrators.
