Quest for Success: The First-Year Experience Course
The first-year course, titled "Quest for Success," is required of incoming freshmen who have enrolled in a degree program. Project-based, it combines a structured academic experience with a service-learning component, and therefore serves as a bridge experience between high school and college-level learning opportunities, expectations and challenges.
"Quest for Success" involves students in planning, implementing and assessing a project in the community, and through that experience, gaining skills in teamwork, organization, problem-solving, decision-making and budgeting. Because these skills are transportable, they will enable students to navigate the workplace of the future and become effective leaders in their fields. Learn more about service-learning at SVC.
