Comments
"In July 2008, Middlesex Community College (MCC) received a five-year, $2.3 million Title III grant to develop Strategies for Success: Increasing Achievement, Persistence, Retention and Engagement (SFS). This comprehensive, integrated campus-wide initiative involved reform of curriculum and advising through a variety of strategies and activities. This session will discuss how the program provides ongoing training, redesigned curriculum, and enhanced academic advising for faculty and staff. Facilitators will also describe how students use interactive learning tools and workshops to acquire core student success skills, such as, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, organization, and selfassessment."
