We are currently looking for Instructors to teach our over 60 sections of Introduction to University Life (ASC 101) course for the upcoming Fall semester. Introduction to University Life is a one-credit course that assists new students in making a successful transition to Ï㽶¸£ÀûÖ±²¥ both academically and personally through engaged learning experiences. This course is designed to help new students build relationships, promote engagement in the curricular and co-curricular experience, encourage civility, connect to various resources of the University, and emphasize the expectations of Ï㽶¸£ÀûÖ±²¥. It also aims to help students develop and practice skills in the areas of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and others that can contribute to success in college and beyond. The class meets in-person, one day a week, for 50 minutes, for 15 weeks. Our staff in First Year Experience provide a number of resources, syllabus templates, and other forms of support to set all instructors up for success in teaching this course.
