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
