How can I help my first-year students engage, persist & succeed?

The START team has prepared a collection of strategies and activities to help those teaching first-year guide students during the transition period.

The handbook presents 8 main topics with 17 leading questions identified through focus groups conducted by the START university partners. We interviewed 65 first-year students, 89 first-year university teachers and 27 faculty developers.

You can explore the handbook by going through the main topics or consulting the resources. We hope you will find it useful.
