Roundtable talks to examine support for first-year students

Faculty, staff and graduate assistants are invited to attend three first-year experience roundtable discussions this semester. The sessions will examine the unique transitions, challenges and experiences of first-time-in-college students and transfer students who are new to SIU Carbondale.

This is an opportunity to share concerns, discuss strategies to support students and learn about campus resources. The first-year experience roundtables are:

• Feb. 12 — 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Faculty and Staff Lounge, Student Center, Old Main Room.
• March 20 — 8:30-10:30 a.m., Student Services Building, Room 150/160.
• April 16 — 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 schedules allow.

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