How can we con­tribute to stu­dent suc­cess–suc­cess not only aca­d­e­mic, but also emo­tional and so­cial–dur­ing their time at BMCC? Stu­dents’ first year ex­pe­ri­ence is es­pe­cially im­por­tant in de­vel­op­ing and nour­ish­ing their sense of pur­pose and be­long­ing, their love of learn­ing, ac­cess to ser­vices and re­sources, as well as stu­dents’ ex­plo­ration of ca­reer paths and cit­i­zen­ship. This is the goal of FYE-em­bed­ded courses, and here is a re­source site with rel­e­vant ma­te­ri­als for fac­ulty. We wel­come con­tri­bu­tions.

How can we contribute to student success–success not only academic, but also emotional and social–during their time at BMCC? Students’ first year experience is especially important in developing and nourishing their sense of purpose and belonging, their love of learning, access to services and resources, as well as students’ exploration of career paths and citizenship. This is the goal of FYE-embedded courses, and here is a resource site with relevant materials for faculty. We welcome contributions.

Fac­ulty strive to broaden and deepen your un­der­stand­ing of the com­plex so­cial, eco­nomic, and po­lit­i­cal is­sues fac­ing our so­ci­ety. Your courses ex­am­ine the­o­ries of of­fend­ing and vic­tim­iza­tion, pro­vide a solid foun­da­tion in crim­i­nal jus­tice stud­ies, and pro­mote crit­i­cal think­ing on the com­pet­ing ide­olo­gies of and so­cial re­sponses to crime.
