Philosophy
At Edison State College we value student success and therefore commit to creating a foundation for our students by encouraging the development of critical thinking skills, making the acquisition of knowledge relevant to their lives, providing them with strategies to succeed in life, and giving them opportunities in and outside of the College to apply their learning.
Faculty, staff, and administrators at Edison State College have designed a First Year Experience Program to connect you, the student, to the resources, tools, and programs that are essential for your success in the first year and beyond. As you begin this exciting and sometimes overwhelming experience, it is important to know there are a number of opportunities and services available to help you make a successful transition.
One very important resource is this website; and just as you are making a transition, so is Edison State College, so please check back often as we add more information about the campus resources available to help you during your first year at Edison State College.
The First Year Experience Program is a comprehensive blueprint for preparing any student entering college for the first time to become a self-reliant learner. The FYE Program will include advising, orientation, the Cornerstone Experience course (SLS 1515), and academic support for students as well as training and development for faculty.
All programs, activities and facilities of Edison State College are available to all on a non-discriminatory basis, without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, handicap, marital status, or national origin. The college is an equal access Equal Opportunity Employer. Questions pertaining to educational equity, equal opportunity, or equal access should be addressed to the Director of Human Resources via email or local address.
