At the beginning of the 2016 academic year 77,214 freshman students at 44 campuses began the fall semester participating in the Re-Imagining the First Year (RFY) initiative of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). These 44 institutions have formed a learning community that reviews and shares evidence-based practices, programs, and implementation strategies designed to increase student success, particularly among first-generation college students, students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, and students from low-income families who are not achieving as well as other students. The article discusses this national initiative and its implementation, presenting case studies of RFY implementation at two high-performing campuses, Indiana University Kokomo and University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, and noting lessons learned.
