Helping the First Year Students
REGAINING THE LOST GROUND-WINNING THE CAMPUS

The happenings in and around the campus -“the arena” where our operations are carried out has gotten to a point where if nothing is done we may be facing the threat of losing our relevance as a fellowship. These new happenings are resulting to clear paradigm shift in campus ministry and other campus cultures that determine, as well as control the “general campus fate”.

Without mincing words you will agree with me that if we are not wholistic and take pragmatic steps in response to the state of the Campus we shall continue to lose grip in terms of relevance and importance.

It is in the light of the above that the Social Response Unit is presenting the following for our consideration and urgent response.

It is said that “No man has it all but he can get it all in and with all”

What we are presenting are not an end in themselves, however; our intention is that with your various inputs ,they can serve as a means to an end in our quest to proffering solutions to the problems facing the campus world. So truly with you and in you we can get it all.

|Take a look at this: As at the last count our student population was just barely over |
|25, 000, spread over 308 Campus groups nationwide. If we are going to transform the nation from the campus; numerical growth must not be |
|compromised. |
|Hear this; for 430 years the Israelites grew numerically through the womb of the Hebrew women to an appreciable population, large enough to be used |
|by God to actualize the promise he made with Abraham, hence the need for us to grow numerically. |

    Obstacles and hardships are what shape a person. One of my many obstacles I had to face was getting use to my freshman year in high school. Due to me going to an Early college my freshman experience may have been a little different. Transitioning was one of the most difficult parts of the whole experience due to me not being able to really grasp what I had gotten myself into. My teachers were very firm in conducting their teaching strategies. I can recall a moment in time where I had turned in one of my first papers for my English class I was so excited for her to read it because I had worked all night on it trying to perfect it. A couple days passed and I got the paper back it was so many read marks on it if I didn't know any better I would…

    Since joining the PAC-12 in 2011, the University of Utah has become a virtual juxtaposition between the twentieth century and the modern era. Near ubiquitous construction has spread across campus like wildfire, resulting in gleaming new colleges, libraries, and exercise facilities. Aging relics, such as the Behavioral Sciences Tower, urgently await demolition. Yet, these changes only account for what is physically observable, speaking little to a remarkable intellectual transition amongst students. With the emergence of microaggressions has come a clear departure from the classic values of the past, forming a society that abstains from offensive thought.…

    First Generation Students

    First-generation students are the first in their families attend a post-secondary institution. They are more likely to face many challenges in university life and how they experience their higher education. “Within the institution, first-generation students may have lower levels of academic and social integration” (Billson and Terry, 1982), and have, as Terenzini and associates (1996) point out, “less positive out-of-class experiences than traditional students”. In fact, many research studies have found that first-generation students lack engagement in academic and social capacities, as for example, they don’t show their engagement in the learning and social experiences such as joining events, participating in classes, using support services,…
