Year 3 Assessments

Assessments - Year 3

Task 1 Activities
To emphasize Task 1 goals, the First Year Experience (FYE) model incorporates several Title III activities and serves to facilitate the transfer of proven practices (developed through the grant) into sustainable mainstream programs for new students. Accordingly, the FYE program will be assessed holistically as a program to demonstrate both impact and opportunities for improvement.
