College 101 helps freshmen succeed

Jennifer Gold, international student advisor, said, “The more you give, the more you will get out of it.”

“This course is to help students understand the basic college services,” Dr. Seth Frechie, an associate professor of English, said.

Katie McCue, a freshman fine arts major, said that she has “found it helpful by learning about the co-op opportunities and the tutoring center.”

As far as getting students involved, Frechie spoke about his activities. “Each year I plan at least one field trip. This year we went to the Reading market. At Christmas we will also be having a pizza party for the end of the semester.” sors teaching this course set up goals for their students to achieve. had to live on rations and use ration books to help pay for food and other items. “My parents lived on rationing for food, gasoline and nylons,” Hedtke said. Victory gardens were planted all around where you would grow your own vegetables. Blackouts happened frequently where you would pull down black shades and all your lights would be turned off, so if the enemy tried to bomb your city, they couldn’t find it. After the drills were over, wardens knocked on doors stating it was all clear. Signs of red, white and blue were hung on windows with little blue starts in the middle. This meant you had someone fighting in the war and if it turned gold, they were dead.

Not only is this an opportunity to leave campus, it is also an “opportunity for students to work together to become acclimated,” Gold said.

The faculty and students have given their views of the course, as well as good and bad points. The college success class has many key factors that enhance the learning of the students at Cabrini.
