Consider a transition program for new students — Part 2

Abstract

In my last column (https://bit.ly/44Xjc7C), I wrote about some of the logistics involved in running a special transition program. This month, I’ll continue offering ideas gleaned from my conversations with Madeline Schutt of Longwood University (Accessibility Resources Office Empowers program), Melissa D. Choate of Muskingum University (LEAP program, offered to participants in their PLUS program), Courtney Jarrett of Ball State University (Connecting Accessible Resources with Disability Services), and Ian Kunkes and Brandi Levingston of Virginia Commonwealth University (Student Accessibility and Educational Opportunity Scholars, which lasts all year but has a Smart Start orientation program).
