Student Success Includes Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice
The new definition of student success includes awareness and appreciation of diversity, equity, and social justice. First-year experience (FYE) courses can provide the opportunity to practice civil discourse and critical thinking to understand current social issues through different perspectives. Topics include communication techniques to encourage civil discussions, fallacies in reasoning, scientific method, and cognitive biases. A framework for discussing current social issues will be presented.
