Rethinking the First Year: How First-Year Programs Drive Enrollment and Student Success

As colleges and universities navigate an increasingly competitive enrollment landscape, first-year abroad programs are emerging as powerful tools for institutional differentiation and student success. This session will explore how institutions are leveraging first year global experiences to stand out in the marketplace, strengthen recruitment and enrollment strategies, and foster belonging, engagement, and student success from day one. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for developing or expanding programs that support both institutional priorities and student outcomes.
