Easing the transition improves grad retention at Trinity U.(Essay)
When women return to college as adult graduate students, fear is their major emotion. They're afraid they can't do the work, they won't fit in, their brains don't work as well as those of other students, they won't have enough time and their professors and other students will make fun of them.
Sound familiar?
First-year students face those same fears. In 1982 an orientation program called The Freshman Year Experience program started, and today it has become a key to retaining first-year students on most campuses.
At Trinity University DC, a similar program called Transitions supports new graduate students in the school of education. Three years of data show it's working.

At the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) conference held in Boston in March, Dr. Cynthia Greer and Dr. Deborah Litt, both faculty in Trinity's school of education, discussed the program. Greer is an associate professor teaching Educating for Change and Litt is assistant professor and director of curriculum and instruction.
