- 15. Faculty Responses I loved the fact that most activities were modeled so we could understand the process and how to integrate them which was the practical application component. And the variety of activities and resources presented gave lots of creative ideas for building our course. I feel like there's lots of support within our group and all of the PCC support services. The main thing is to keep the connection between our colleagues so we don't feel isolated and can share our successes and challenges.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Shelagh
- #3: Cecile
- #4: This is the story of how we went from a heavily-siloed campus with no culture of professional learning and no sense of ownership or understanding toward first year students, to a campus in which 32 faculty from across the disciplines volunteered to spend the only free week between spring and summer semesters to attend an intensive professional learning institute in order to teach our new first year experience course. Our first year experience program is still in its infancy, but we have made a tremendous amount of progress in a short amount of time and we wanted to share what we did, what we learned, and the principles that are guiding us.
