Abstract

The authors describe the rationale behind, processes related to, and evaluation of The Transitions Program, a precollege advising and orientation program for students and parents. The program advisors educate participants about realistic college-life expectations and provide them with strategies for meeting the challenges and opportunities of the college transition. Students and parents responded separately to a questionnaire designed to sensitize them to college transition challenges. They were subsequently led by professional staff, faculty advisors, and students through a discussion of expected experiences. Survey results, discussion summaries, and suggestions for advisor follow-up activities are provided.
