How do you support first year learning outside of the classroom?
Goals: 1) check in; 2) fill out returning mentor survey; 3) sign up for a CC100-120 link; 4) develop panel for STudent Success Forum; 5) 4/22
How do we clarify how faculty and first years interact with FYP peer mentors
the first meeting on Tuesday of NSO: doing an ice breaker
a shared slide or something about the program and the role of peer mentors
FYP mentors often serve in joint positions
Cool things you've done:
getting students off campus for a breather; getting insights into senior living; creating a space for authentic question asking
boba grab n go; demystify the housing process
mentor shared events where first years refelect on learning across blocks/cohorts
helping navigate the communication noise of CC: a human who curates opportunities to get a better sense of campus;
what if this is a way towards convergence
funding from comparative lit for an icecream social
role models and shows first years how to grow into employment and leadship space
creating access to CC cultures which can be scary
tips/strats
having access to a clear syllabus with transparent workloads
help them in their final?
emphasizing first years capabilities and empowering them
normalizing help-seeking and demystifying how Colket works
this work transfers
talking explicitly about the meta-thinking and skillsets required to thrive on the block;
contextualizes the experiences of CC to help understand the work of the FYP classrooms
helping identify common CC projects/presentations across disciplines (writing skills, oral skills, teamwork); explaining the meta layers of high impact practices and learning at CC
what are FYP mentors NOT: field trip organizers/supporters
