Support 2YC Students
There are many different ways of defining "success" when it comes to helping our 2YC students be successful. For some, it is providing scaffolding for a successful transition to a bachelor's degree program or career. Other times, it involves helping students develop academic skills that were missing from their previous schooling. Sometimes it means helping students see a place for themselves in the geosciences. Oftentimes, it involves more than one of these factors or something else entirely. These modules provide information and advice for how to begin addressing some of the issues involved.
