= Exploring the First Year Student Experience (Fall 2022) =
<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif"><span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">The first year student experience will be examined to identify improvement areas to yield greater student success. The goal is not just a fresh coat of paint on the existing practices, but a deep drive into how our practices and programs shape student experience. Stories, conversations, and brainstorming sessions with students and campus stakeholders will give a more complete picture than numbers alone. Comprehensive, campus wide exploration is needed to live out the student focused mission of the institution. Information collection, analysis, and prototyping will align with our R1 status. Accountability with campus and community partners will embody the land grant mission.</span></span></span></span></span>
