Our hypothesis is that participation with a cohort in a general orientation course, a major-specific
orientation course, and a selected general education course will improve the success
of students during their time at SPSU. This hypothesis is supported by the research of
others, as described in the full proposal. In addition to more granular measurements of
learning outcomes, we will examine student retention and GPA. We also seek to
differentiate the effect of participating in a general orientation course from participating in a
departmental orientation course.
We present, as our Quality Enhancement Plan, "Engaged Communities: Engaging Entering Students through Learning Communities."
