The three sample plans linked to this page are meant to provide examples of a variety of ways that colleges and campuses might develop an FYE plan and assessment measures for that plan. Note that different strategies are used in each sample plan, therefore you are encouraged to read all three plans for a range of ideas. Of course, these represent just a fraction of the possible approaches to FYE and you are encouraged to consult the additional resources on this site at http://www.senate.psu.edu/FYE/good_practices.htm and http://www.senate.psu.edu/FYE/fyeresources.htm for additional ideas about the FYE.
