Guiding questions � How could the first year at ISU better engage students with our expectations for them, academically? � Social engagement appears to have a strong impact on our first-year students: ◦ What are the opportunities to leverage this to improve their academic performance? ◦ How can we identify and engage those students who show greater risk for lack of social engagement, early in their first semester?
