Welcome to First Year Advising Teaching, advising, and supporting students in their first year of college

First Year听Advising is a team of professional academic advisors from a variety of diverse backgrounds. We use teaching, advising, and advocacy to empower new students to pursue their continued development in college.

Our team provides holistic 1:1 academic advising for first-year students, emphasizing student learning and engagement both inside and outside of the classroom. Advisors also teach their advisees in a weekly 小蓝视频 Experience 1 course in the fall. This allows students to have consistency through their first semester and offers听opportunities to connect with their advisor in class.

Teaching Through our role as instructors in the 小蓝视频x Program we have the opportunity to support student development in 小蓝视频x1 and 小蓝视频x2.

Holistic 1:1 Academic Advising

Throughout a student's first year we provide consistency and support as they navigate 小蓝视频 and their academic path. With our students we place an emphasis on advising and coaching the whole student. We go beyond academics and incorporate their social, cultural, psychological and academic adjustment to college in our meetings. We provide the highest level of student service possible, but also recognize the importance of student responsibility. We provide students with all of their options and then support them in making and taking ownership of their decisions and education.

Focus on student learning and engagement

Both inside and outside of the classroom, we want students to be learning and engaging with the campus community. We place emphasis on engagement, knowing that it leads to students thriving.听听

Teaching

Through our role as instructors in the 小蓝视频x Program we have the opportunity to support student development in 小蓝视频x1 and 小蓝视频x2. In 小蓝视频x1 we see the students each week in class, which allows us to get to know our students on a deeper and more consistent basis to provide effective support and interventions. In 小蓝视频x2, we provide a solid foundation in understanding systems of power, privilege, and inequality while engaging in dialogue across difference. Together, the two semesters provide students with the necessary skills and support as they become a part of an engaged community of learners.
