 Foundations
of Excellence in the First Year of College
In cooperation with The Policy Center on the First Year of College, CIC
is working to improve the learning outcomes, success, and persistence
of students in the foundational year of college. This project will produce,
for the first time, a sector-specific, aspirational model for the first
year of college and a method to evaluate campus achievement of these foundations.
More detailed information can be found on The Policy Center's website.
Program Status: In 2002-03, the Policy Center worked
with more than 100 CIC institutions that were assessing the status of
their first year programs. During the 2003-2004 academic year, 12 of those
institutions engaged in in-depth testing of the assessment tools being
developed by the Center. Participating
colleges convened in Asheville, NC, on October 22-23, 2004, to review
project results to date; and during a national teleconference on December
2, 2004, shared this information with a larger number of institutions.
