At John Carroll University, we will launch a new interdisciplinary seminar, required of all freshmen, taught by faculty from all disciplines. Any suggestions for assessing such an undertaking will be gratefully received. IL 60435 Thanks to Jeff Thomas at Seton Hall. At New Hampshire College the Freshman Seminar instructor is also the advisor for the students in the class. At the end of the first semester and after discussions on values, majors, career and life planning, all first year students complete a declaration of major form.
Students have an opportunity to declare, reaffirm their major or remain undeclared.
Second semester students are assigned a new advisor based on this declaration. I would like to hear how other institutions handle the transition to new advisors. We are always looking to continuously improve what we do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. New Hampshire College 2500 N. River Rd.
