Program helps first-year students to adapt (Boston Globe)
KENNESAW, Ga. | Jan 3, 2017
Stephanie M. Foote, director of the master’s program in first-year studies at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, was quoted in a Boston Globe story about the importance of helping first-year college students succeed.
“A lot of what we’re doing now is to respond to the uniqueness that exists in our students,” Foote said. “We have to be very aimed in our response to that diversity, and to create these environments where students feel included and feel they can thrive or flourish.”
