Dear Commission Members,

I hope that you are doing well and looking forward to the Annual Convention. This issue

of Transitions provides guide that will allow you to take full advantage of the

Convention opportunities related to the mission and vision of our Commission. These

opportunities include our sponsored programs, a roundtable discussion, our Showcase

booth, annual book giveaway, presentation of our Commission awards and research

grant, and our open member meeting and reception co-sponsored by the National

Orientation Directors Association (NODA). Please review the information in this issue and

the Convention program for additional information regarding schedules and locations

of these events. We look forward to seeing you in Washington DC.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the AOFYE Directorate Board members who

have been working very hard over the course of many months to bring you AOFYE

programs, both at convention and throughout the year. As they cycle off of our

Directorate Board, we wish to honor Joe Connell, Kathleen Gillon, and Paul Eaton for

dedicating their time and talents to the work of the Commission. I also want to

welcome our newest members of the Directorate Board: Christopher Hockey, Melissa

Johnson, Jennifer Quinn-Taylor, La’Tonya Rease Miles, and Dian Squire. Last, but not

least, I wish to acknowledge the wonderful contributions of our continuing board

members: Todd Chamberlain, Nicole Craven, Mary Ann Grandinetta, Staci Hersh, Drew

Koch, Jeannine Kranzow, Matt Pistilli, Jodi Koslow Martin, Mike Siegel, Jennifer Stripe,

and Sara Hinkle, who will be serving as the new Chair of the AOFYE Directorate Board.

The Metro DC Convention represents the end of my term as Chair of our Commission.

As I reflect upon my term, I am so pleased by the accomplishments of our Commission

including the strategic realignment of our Commission’s value, vision, and mission

statements; restructuring our leadership team; enhancing opportunities for member

involvement; redesigning our newsletter and website; expanding partnerships with other

national organizations; sponsorship of programs dedicated to AOFYE topics at

convention and throughout the year; and many, many others. I am regularly reminded

of the benefit of collaborating with colleagues in a setting such as our organization,

particularly considering the types of opportunities and challenges that we are currently

facing in our profession and nation. I look forward to remaining an active member of

our Commission and ACPA and working to further “enhance the manner in which all

new students transition into and through the first year of college.”

All the best,

Jennifer Keup

Admissions, Orientation, & First-Year Experience: The Power of Collaboration [ID: 518]

Sara E. Hinkle, Hofstra University Monday, March 30, 2009

7:30 AM - 8:30 AM, Gaylord National, Chesapeake 10

A review of research and best practices indicates that a comprehensive and

integrated student transition experience is most beneficial to students’ first-year

experience and success. However, separate institutional structures and disparate

programming often result in a fragmented experience for entering students. This

roundtable provides an opportunity to discuss specific challenges and strategies to

working collaboratively across the fields of Admissions, Enrollment Management,

Orientation, and First-Year Experience Programs on campus to create a meaningful and

seamless transition experience for new students.

Imagination in Action: Powerful Orientation Collaborations [ID: 309]

Cara S. Ray & Jemilia Harrison, Gainesville State College & University of Georgia Monday, March 30, 2009

10:15 AM - 11:30 AM, Gaylord National, Chesapeake 4

Gainesville State College’s Orientation Leader program provides a model for two-year

colleges seeking to increase student involvement in Orientation. This session will describe

the growth of our program from its humble beginnings to its well developed presence

on campus today. The successful development of our Orientation Leader program

resulted in collaborations around campus, greater student presence at orientation, and

leadership opportunities. We will review our program’s development and offer models

for Orientation Leader programs, cross-campus collaborations, and improving

orientation programs.

Integrating the Arts into Orientation and the First-Year Experience [ID: 202]

Joanna Frye & Drew Tinnin, University of Michigan Monday, March 30, 2009

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM, Gaylord National, Magnolia 1

The arts are a key component of student learning and development that is often

overlooked or underserved during orientation and other first year programs. The

University of Michigan reminds students of the importance of art and creativity

throughout the undergraduate experience through the Arts at Michigan program, and

has integrated the arts into the new student orientation experience. Come learn one

campus’s approach to encouraging students’ learning and development through the

arts beginning at orientation and throughout the first year.

New Directions for the First-Year Experience in American Higher Education [ID: 668]

Jennifer Keup, Stephanie Foote, Matthew Pistilli, & Sara Hinkle Tuesday, March 31, 2009

8:45 AM - 10:00 AM, Gaylord National, Chesapeake 11 & 12

Issues surrounding student access and persistence in the first college year have

received increasing attention in recent years. This presentation will draw from the

content of the fourth edition of The First-Year Experience in American Higher Education:

An Annotated Bibliography (2007), to summarize the major contributions to the

literature base on the first-year experience (FYE) published in the past decade, discuss

the implications of this work for practice, and identify emerging areas of FYE research

and policy for student affairs.

Pre-College Dress Rehearsal: Promoting Student Self-Efficacy during the College

Transition [ID: 56]

Sara E. Hinkle, Hofstra University Tuesday, March 31, 2009

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM, Gaylord National, Chesapeake 11 & 12

Self-efficacy plays an important role in the college adjustment process in that it

increases a student’s level of confidence so that he or she can adapt to a new way of

life. This program illuminates how educators can promote self-efficacy by allowing

students to practice and assess their behavior in academic, social, and personal/

emotional arenas. Qualitative research will be presented that examines the role a

pre-college program played in fostering students’ sense of self-efficacy.

In addition to sponsored programs, of course, several other noteworthy programs at this

year’s convention will address topics related to Admissions, Orientation, the First-Year

Experience, and Parent & Family programming.

Each year, the Commission on Admissions, Orientation, and First-Year Experience

presents several awards at the National Convention. Here are this year’s award winners.

They will be recognized at our Open Meeting on Tuesday afternoon.

Outstanding New Professional

Maria Duckett

Hofstra University

In her position, Maria has been innovative in her ideas and she has worked to

improve the services and programs offered to new students with an end goal of

creating a holistic, positive experience for new students.

Maria has worked to create more intimate programs which attempt to utilize

campus resources, with the hope that these will better connect with the student

audience. She is a devoted orientation professional, and is committed to the

field. She has a positive attitude and is not afraid to challenge herself to try new

things. She has worked hard to make positive changes here at Hofstra through

her work.

Outstanding Graduate Student

Halston Campagna

Purdue University

As Halston’s supervisor, I can attest to the incredible performance and dedi-

cation of this student. She is one of those students, and hopefully we have all had

them, that routinely thinks outside the box on a regular basis. She has a very keen

intuition, a remarkable ability to think analytically, and is very detail-

oriented. These skills and this performance has made her an extremely valuable

asset to orientation programs.

She combines an extraordinary work ethic, a passion for interacting with students,

and professionalism and dedication to enhance the quality of the college transi-

tion process for thousands of new Boilermakers.

Outstanding Experienced Professional

Betsy O. Barefoot

Policy Center on the First Year of College

Betsy has been an advocate for first-year college students for many years and

continues to work with higher education institutions across the country and world

as the movement to improve the experience of new college students continues

to grow.

While at conferences and other professional meetings, former students, who are

now new professionals, will seek her out in the crowd to thank her for the

influence she had during their college years.

Betsy is a true champion of college students and her career has been devoted

to making their experience better. I am sure that even when she is fully retired

she will continue to be a highly sought after voice for those who are working

hard on campuses around the world to make college transitions a bit easier.

Outstanding Undergraduate Student

Brett Hornsby

University of New Orleans

What a rare quality to find in a young student: to think beyond yourself and

what you do and think about the institution as a whole and the future of your

institution.

He is an approachable and friendly student. He is comfortable speaking in front

of 400 plus crowds and knows how to make students and parents feel like UNO is

the place to be.

He is dependable and everyone respects and appreciates him for his valuable

input and assistance. Brett is a visible student leader on campus, but his

achievements outside of the classroom do not overshadow his achievements

within the classroom.

Review of The First-Year Experience in American

Higher Education: An Annotated Bibliography, 4th ed.

In an era of greater accountability and burgeoning research, The National Resource

Center for the First-Year Experience and students in transition has published the 4th

edition of The First-Year Experience in American Higher Education: An Annotated

Bibliography (2007).

In this text, much of the scholarly work on the first-year experience is examined and

compressed for use by professional in the field. As a guide for institutions wishing to

strengthen their first-year experience programming, or as a guide for assisting in the

development of first-year programs, this bibliography provides the foundation of

understanding the research behind the first-year experience movement.

The bibliography is broken into five sections. The first section examines the first-year

student in context, examining research that focuses on student demographics,

behavior, and wellness issues (Riddle, 2008).

Sections two and three examine both pre-enrollment and first-year experience

programs. Research on the effectiveness of a variety of well-known institutional

interventions are reported, including first year seminars, learning communities, and

other varieties of extracurricular and curricular initiatives.

Section four of the bibliography is dedicated to research on underrepresented

populations and campuses, including tribal colleges, community colleges, and

HBCUs.

Several members of our ACPA AOFYE Commission were responsible for editing this

new edition of the Bibliography. These individuals include: Andrew Koch, Sara Hinkle,

Jennifer Keup, and Matthew Pistilli.

Our commission will be raffling off several copies of this new bibliography during our

Open Meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 2009.

Each year ACPA recognizes Commissions that demonstrate distinguished leadership

and accomplishment. Accomplishments that merit this distinction are those new

contributions that support the strategic goals not only of the Commission itself but also

of the Association. We are pleased to announce that the Commission for Admissions,

Orientation, and the First Year Experience received two Awards for Excellence in

specific areas of Commission activity: Member Service and Publications.

The Commission Award for Excellence in Member Service acknowledges “innovative

methods of member recruitment and/or the design and execution of a regular series

of services based on needs expressed by the members.” AOFYE was recognized with

this award because of their efforts to identify and define meaningful opportunities for

active involvement within the commission, communicate these various opportunities

with Commission membership, as well as identify and engage members who were

interested in participating in these activities. The result was the new AOFYE online

volunteer form that describes to the general membership six different opportunities for

service to the Commission and allows them to sign up for each activity. Please view

the online volunteer form at the following website: http://www.zoomerang.com/

Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB2286DCBM8ST. The intentional expansion and inclusion

of more general members in the work of AOFYE has helped the Commission advance

its mission to “provide opportunities for professional development, networking,

research and assessment, community building, acknowledgment of best practices

and model programs, and collaboration among its members.”

The Commission Award for Excellence in Publications recognizes resources and media

“addressing issues, challenges, and innovative practices in higher education and/or

the Commission's specific area of expertise.” Five current and past AOFYE Directorate

Board members collaborated to research, author, and edit the 4th edition of the The

First-Year Experience in American Higher Education: An Annotated Bibliography

(Koch, Foote, Hinkle, Keup, Pistilli, 2007), which was the focus of this award. This

volume was a productive partnership between ACPA and the National Resource

Center on the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, which served to

strengthen the connection between research and practice by enhancing our

understanding about the experiences and success of new students. This collection

and analysis of over 320 research studies and essays on practice was praised in a

review in the August 2008 issue of the Journal of Learning Communities Research and

sold 550 copies in its first year of publication. This content and scope of this

monograph helps to reinforce the AOFYE goal to “create intentional connections and

linkages across Admissions, Orientation, the First Year Experience and all other areas

that affect the management of student enrollment and adjustment to create a

seamless and integrated transition experience for all new undergraduates.”

Commission awards will be disseminated at the 2009 Convention and will be on

display at the AOFYE Member Meeting and Reception, co-sponsored by NODA, on

Tuesday, March 31st from 2:30—4:30 PM at Gaylord National Hotel - National Harbor

15. Congratulations AOFYE!
