Curriculum
In the month before classes begin, EDGE 2.0 students will go through the Learning Ally College Success Program curriculum via an accessible online course, with modules addressing each of five critical competency areas: Communicating with Your Professor, Making Social and Professional Connections, Partnering with the Disability Services Office, Learning Effectively, and Making Technology Work for You.
Once those classes are completed, the EDGE 2.0 Career Advisor will work with students to develop a customized campus assessment, assimilation plan, and career plan, all of which will contribute to a focused academic, experiential, and relational portfolio that will serve as a superhighway to powerful career destinations. In the process, EDGE 2.0 will connect students with a network of undergraduate peers and graduate mentors who will support and challenge students during the entirety of their EDGE 2.0 experience. This support network will be available via in-person meetings and an online portal so that students will always have access to one another. In addition, students will have unlimited personal access to Learning Ally’s library, which includes a catalogue of over 80,000 recorded audiobooks.
