FYP Presents at theThe First-Year Experience & NASPA Conference

March 1, 2024

The First-Year Experience and the NASPA Conference were recently held in Seattle and included a presentation from members of the University of Washington. Courtney Saben/Emily Kolby/Sarah O'Rourke/LeAnne Wiles from First Year Programs and Kyla Mayer/Dan Feetham from Undergraduate Academic Advising led a session titled Centering Student Care: A Collaborative Approach Between Advising & Orientation. Presenting to higher-education professionals from around the country, the team shared ways to...

Identify ways that orientation offices and advising offices can partner to help students transition academically and socially.
Understand how to define "student care" and embed high-impact strategies throughout the student onboarding process.
Be able to list several platforms and strategies to make large-scale programming feel more individualized for students.

We are proud of the team for their work on this presentation and for supporting the professional development of other higher-education professionals!
