Superteam

RFY has a campus-wide "Superteam" comprised of faculty, staff, administrators from all three colleges, RISS, Faculty Senate, and Student Affairs. RFY is a clearing house for all first-year initiatives. The RFY seeks to connect all efforts to the Graduation Initiative (GI2025), University Strategic Plan, WASC accreditation, and Academic Tactical Plan (ATP) using a "top down, bottom-up" coordinated approach to include the campus in the process. 

Subcommittee

The coalition formed 3 subcommittees to transform Humboldt, develop plans and enact change. The subcommittees are Basic Needs, Student Learning Communites/First Year Experience and Professional Learning Communities. These subcommittees meet regularly over the summer to develop proposals and a work-plan for 2017-2018 academic year. 

Projects

Over the last 2 years, the RFY Coalition has studied the first-year best practices and developed proposals for initiatives on campus. These have included block scheduling, area E course development, Learning Communities for students and faculty/staff, basic needs and safety of our students, developing sense of belonging on campus, inclusive pedagody, first-generation student success, family programming, meta-majors, communication acroos the curriculum, and coordinated support are we offering those of us who interact daily with first-year students, among many other topics peretinent to first-year students.
