Introduces sociohistorical perspectives on how new students (frosh and transfer) can navigate the opportunities and challenges of the institution's academic life from a critical race and decolonial theoretical lens. Provides strategies to define goals, develop an action-oriented plan toward academic, career, and civic-oriented outcomes, and examine and build students' own social and cultural capital.
