Description
Summary:Lebo Mosebua from the South African National Resource Centre for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (SANRC) conducted an interview with Dr Tracy Skipper from the SANRC’s U.S.-based partner organisation, the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (NRC). Dr Skipper is the assistant director for publications at the NRC. Given the leading role of the NRC in holding and disseminating resources and information about the First-Year Experience (FYE), the SANRC sought ideas about how the NRC’s resource centre was built and how it is maintained. This interview focuses on the importance of resource centres, and provides information on how resource centres operate as well as on how to successfully establish one.
