The 33rd Annual Conference on The
First-Year Experience will be held February 15 - 18, 2014 in San Diego,
California. The Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience provides
an ongoing forum where higher education professionals can share
experiences, concerns, and accomplishments related to supporting student
learning, development, and success in the first college year. Visit www.sc.edu/fye/annual for more information.
High-quality concurrent session,
roundtable discussion, and poster session proposals are invited on topics
addressing the myriad aspects of the first year of college. Proposals
undergo blind review and are selected based on appropriateness of session
topic, adherence to proposal guidelines, and overall quality of the
proposal. Proposals will be accepted through October 11, 2013 at www.sc.edu/fye/annual/proposal.
The First-Year Experience Conference
aims to promote a comprehensive and engaging community open to a
diversity of ideas, in which all delegates are given the opportunity and
resources to grow personally and professionally. The conference welcomes
graduate and undergraduate students, encouraging them to deepen their
knowledge of the academic communities of which they are a part. We invite
you to be a part of productive collaborations, conversations, and
relationships as we gather in San Diego.

institutes, and workshops; publishing monographs, a peer-reviewed
journal, an electronic newsletter, guides, and books; generating and
supporting research and scholarship; hosting visiting scholars; and
administering a website and listservs.
