Abstract

The authors describe a comprehensive summer program for first-year students at a large research university. Data are presented to provide evidence for continuing programs that offer incoming student assistance in both curricular and social support mechanisms. Results of the study suggest that participating first-year students are more likely to report positive college experience and greater ease in using technology.
