- Cornerstone Seminar: First-Year

Catalog description

The Cornerstone Seminar is a one-credit hour course designed to support first-year and transfer students as they transition to Lewis University in their first semester of college. Part of the General Education requirement, this course provides students with an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Lewis University's Catholic and Lasallian Mission as well as grow and develop the skills needed to become successful at Lewis. The course provides resources and information to support academic advising and also introduces students to a variety of campus resources that will assist them during their transition to college life. Small groups of 18-20 students meet once a week in sessions facilitated by a faculty or staff mentor. Students who fail Cornerstone Seminar must repeat the course until a passing grade is earned.
