Matthew L. Bernacki, Dan Gianoutsos (Student and Academic Success), and MeganClaire Cogliano (Education) published their manuscript, "E," in Innovative Higher Education. This five-year longitudinal study examined how digital curricular enhancements, which were integrated into an in-person first-year seminar (FYS), affected students’ academic success. The study found that first-generation college students who completed the five-module learning skill training earned increasingly higher cumulative GPA over five years and differences in retention were observed by Year Three. The findings offer valuable insight into how targeted digital interventions can support student success, particularly for first-generation students.
