EOF Peer 2 Peer Mentoring Program To help with the transition process, all incoming Summer Scholars are required to engage throughout the school year with their peer mentors.

FOUNDATIONS OF STUDENT SUCCESS

• This course is designed to guide incoming first year

students through the transition from high school to college.

• This will involve further developing content knowledge

previously covered in secondary schools, reflecting on self-assessments taken, diagnosing learning styles, beginning to develop college-level study and tests- taking skills, and learning the resources available to students on a college campus.

• Each week is a different big idea that focuses on an area of

developmental need.

• Students will receive content addressing common themes

based off of the ACT Engage Assessment.

Principles of Stem Innovation

• This is a two part course which is broken up over a 4 week

period.

• Every two weeks students will learn about different

STEM related areas that will help prepare them for the upcoming semester

• Topics covered will include
• Physics Principles
• Genetic Principles
• Engineering Principles
• Chemistry Principles
• Each course will be taught by a different Full-Time TCNJ

Faculty member

• These modules are full, non-remedial topics taught at the

pace of a summer course.

• Students will apply the study and cognitive skills learned

from their Foundations of Student Success course
