"College 101: Helping Dislocated Workers Transition to College," by Angela Oriano-Darnall, doctoral student in the Community College Leadership Program at The University of Texas at Austin; and Joan Williams, vice president for Student Services and athletic director at Southeastern Community College (Iowa), reports on a highly successful college initiative to inform and welcome new students to college.
