About the Institute

The Institute on Community College Student Onboarding & First-Year Success is a two-day, in-person professional development event designed for community college professionals who support students as they transition into college and navigate their first year. This institute will explore trends, research, and strategies to strengthen existing practices or develop new practices that enhance student onboarding, engagement, retention, and first-year success. 

Through collaborative sessions and practical insights, participants will gain tools to better support student success from initial entry through the critical first year of the college experience. Institute sessions are designed to build on one another so that participants can leave with actionable ideas that can be implemented on their home campus. The workshop faculty will employ group work, active learning, and discussion to engage participants in learning.
