FYE seminars [like College 1] have been shown to

increase student persistence, use of campus resources,

academic ability, and graduation, especially when paired

with shared intellectual experiences such as a One Book,One College Program (National Resource Center), but

such programs are most effective when they are

rooted in a broad base of support across campus,

evolving with input and involvement from faculty from

across the disciplines, classified staff, and students.
