Student Continuum Task Force Created in fall 2016 Charged to re-imagine the student experience from the entry process through completion of the first semester. Met weekly throughout the fall and developed a groundbreaking first-semester experience that removed identified barriers to student success. In fall 2017, 400 FTIC students are expected to participate in a pilot of the re-imagined plan.  Student Continuum Task Force www.sanjac.edu
