Right Start to College Seminar for Adult Learners.  Wichita State University (KS)  (approved Promising Practice 10/15/13)

One of the services EOC provides to adults entering college is The Right Start to College 101 Seminar (Right Start). It introduces attendees to the culture of college, its barriers for many adult students, and how to maximize their life experiences for success in the college environment. The seminar also helps them assess their strengths and apply them to college. The Right Start approach is an adaptation of a traditional College Success Program to serve effectively first-generation/limited-income adults participating in the Wichita State University (WSU) TRIO EOC program for adult college students.
