Roundtable talks to examine support for first year students

Faculty, staff and graduate assistants are invited to attend two first year experience roundtable discussions this semester about supporting students in their first year at SIU Carbondale.

The sessions will examine the unique transitions, challenges and experiences of first-time-in-college students and transfer students who are new to SIU. This is an opportunity to share concerns, discuss strategies to support students and learn about available campus resources.

The first-year experience roundtables are:

  • March 7 — 8-10 a.m., Student Services Building, Room 150/160.
  • April 10 — 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Faculty and Staff Lounge, Student Center Old Main Room.

Registration is not required, and participants may come and go as their schedule allows.

Questions about the event may be directed to Gena Albert, associate dean of students at gena.albert@siu.edu.

The roundtable is sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs; First Year Experience; the College of Liberal Arts’ School of Literature, Writing, and Digital Humanities; Saluki Success UNIV 101, and the University Core Curriculum.
