The Edge program is designed to assist first-year students in adjusting to the demands of college-level academics. Through the Edge program, select first-year students gain:
- Exposure to the academic skills vital to collegiate success.
- Increased self-confidence through early academic achievement.
- Connection to campus resources.
The Edge program includes a classroom component as well as extensive advising during the first year. During the Edge course, students focus on an academic discipline while developing the academic skills necessary for first-year success. In addition, faculty and staff engage the Edge students in extensive follow-up, incorporating frequent contact at critical times during the first year. Under the supervision of peer mentors, Edge students also complete academic and cocurricular activities designed to engage them to the campus community.
Participation in the Edge program is by invitation only. For more information, please contact the Student Success Center.
