Keleher, Mixson-Brookshire, and Foote present at First-Year Experience in Orlando



University College was well-represented at the 35th Annual Conference on the First-Year Experience in Orlando Feb. 20-23.
Michael Keleher, director of Integrative Studies, along with colleagues Deborah Mixson-Brookshire, assistant dean, and Stephanie Foote, director of the Master of Science in First-Year Studies, presented "Outcomes Associated with a Learning Community for International Students."
The Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience provides an ongoing discussion where higher education professionals can communicate experiences, interests, and
accomplishments related to supporting student learning, development, and success in the first college year.
These three faculty also co-authored an article that has been accepted for publication this summer: "Global Gateways: A pilot learning community for first-year international students" (in e-Source for College Transitions).
