ACS Workshop: Building Meaningful First‑Year Experiences – A Consortium Conversation
June 16 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm EDT
Join colleagues from across the Associated Colleges of the South for a virtual workshop led by Dr. Michelle Hite, Ph.D. of Spelman College, as part of ACS’s participation in the Teagle Foundation’s Cornerstone initiative. Designed for faculty who teach first‑year courses as well as curriculum leaders and FYE program staff, this session will offer a collaborative space to explore how ACS campuses structure their first‑year experience, including approaches to centering the humanities, launching general education pathways, and incorporating common texts to build a shared student experience. Participants will engage with examples from peer institutions, reflect on their own campus models, and explore opportunities for innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration amidst our changing environment. The workshop will also outline potential next steps for campuses interested in considering a Teagle planning or implementation grant to support ongoing efforts.
