High-Impact Summer Bridge Strategies ​
Carol Carter, Sarah Kravits, and Teri Rowenhorst of NROC explore the power of compact summer FYE courses and how coaching can help advisors and faculty build strong bridges to incoming freshmen.
​
The combination of COVID-19, loss of life and jobs, and a year or more of inequitable educational opportunity require an intentional summer strategy designed to onboard the most negatively impacted students. First-generation college students, underserved learners, and those without family or networks to lean on are the most vulnerable.
​
In this webinar, we'll explore the power of compact summer FYE courses, bolstered by personalized review in math and English, to improve student retention and success. Inclusive Coaching can knit together this work for advisors and faculty in ways that build strong bridges to incoming freshmen. These supports will encourage learners beginning college in 2021 to embrace self-advocacy, collaboration, respect for differences, and curiosity, all of which inform academic, work, and life choices.
