Session Description

This special session format gives authors of Work-in-Progress (WIP) papers the opportunity to pitch their work with a two-slide (back and front of a postcard) overview through a short presentation. Following the presentations, interactive conversations among authors and FPD members will help authors get feedback from the community to help inform next steps of their work. This session is an excellent opportunity for members of the ASEE community to learn about ongoing work in FPD as well as to contribute to the ever growing knowledge base of best practices in first-year programs. Two WIP sessions will be held during this concurrent session to allow members to float between the rooms at the end of the sessions.

For those interested in: New Members
