  4. section in the background.

  8. I s section known as First Your Experience.
  9. I'm also on the board of the Association for Interdisciplinary
  10. Studies. As one who has for many years taught courses
  11. to first year students including, of course, designated as first
  12. year seminar, which is one of the titles over there
  13. on the slide.
  14. Um, others of us teach just first year courses introductory
  15. courses to first year students.
  16. So we are a band of people who are dedicated
  17. to the success of the first year students.
  18. We know that such a student needs their first encounter
  19. with this level of their education to be infused with
  20. authentically engaging material and often times that leads us to
  21. utilizing interdisciplinary approaches, strategies, toe learning.
  22. Um, there are many different kinds of learning, as we
  23. all know on dhe, the first year experience section is
  24. a place where we can come together to discuss how
  25. we can help our first year students be reflective.
  26. Practitioners understand how they're learning as well as what they're
  27. learning. So here in this section, we come together and
  28. we share experiences and strategies and advice and work we
  29. have done in the field.
  30. Uh, please consider joining us.
  31. And if you are so inclined, consider becoming a leader
  32. of the group.
