Developing and Sustaining Successful First-Year Programs

A Guide for Practitioners

Omschrijving

This comprehensive, practical book, offers a how-to guide to developing new first-year programs and enhancing existing programs. First-year programs and interventions have become critical launching pads for student success and retention in higher education. However, these programs often flounder not because of what they are trying to do, but because of the ways in which they are implemented. Preface by John N.
