Upcoming Events
Thriving in Transition
Date and Time
Wednesday, February 7, 2018 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Description
Student success efforts have undergone a paradigm shift grounded in thriving research. In the thriving conceptual framework, the conversation focuses on student characteristics both amenable to change and that promote high levels of academic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal performance in the college environment. Using this framework, Dr. Laurie Schreiner will help us examine transitions, particularly for sophomore, transfer, underrepresented, and marginalized students.

- Recognize various conditions through which thriving can occur.
