Collaboratory: an open space which facilitates a creative process where a group of people work together to generate solutions to complex problems.
The first-year experience for students in higher education crucially determines their success. The Provost’s office, College of Arts and Sciences and University Foundations have partnered to create the First Year Leadership Collaboratory, a “think-tank” of faculty and staff who have experience working with first-year students to explore and inform policy and practices and to make recommendations regarding first-year students’ learning experiences. We are looking for a few “first-year student champions” and invite you to participate in this work group. We would especially value input and collaboration from those teaching first year students or those who work closely with first year students.
For more information about the Collaboratory, please see this Google Doc. To apply, express interest by Sept. 20, 2022, to Candyce Reynolds (candycereynolds@boisestate.edu).
