Do you feel stuck in a universe of one-shots for first year information literacy instruction? Come to this session to hear about Washington & Jefferson College’s “multiverse” approach to the first year experience, combining sessions in First Year Seminars and English Composition with the Orientation experience. We’ll discuss the successes and challenges of this program, including faculty buy-in and librarian workload distribution. Share your own experiences with your first year instruction and collaborate with fellow librarians to better improve first year student success!

Cecelia Lasley is currently the Instruction and Student Success Librarian at Washington & Jefferson College. She earned her MSLIS with a concentration in Cultural Heritage Informatics from Simmons University in 2022. Her work centers around advocating for Primary Source and Information Literacies and fostering student engagement in academic libraries.

We will mute participants on entry into the Zoom room. Session will be recorded and available on YouTube after the session. We will enable Zoom’s Live Transcription feature during the session.
