Core 102 Partnership with Student Affairs

Student Affairs and EOU Academic Faculty have worked closely for over a year to create a seminar that provides an extended orientation opportunity for students as well opportunities to practice critical thinking and research..  In the Core 102 seminar, students work with different student affairs staff and faculty to create an I-Search Paper.  Research shows that if students research a major and make a plan early in their college studies, they are more likely to stay in school.  See below link for a description of the I-Search Paper that students will compose in Core 102.
