Abstract
This review explores the significance of transition within the lives of students attending college for the first time. Areas of focus include developing powerful partnerships and improving student success through the implementation of orientation programming, living-learning communities, and freshmen interest groups. An evaluation of the impact of collaboration amongst student affairs practitioners and academic faculty during student transition is provided, followed by an emphasis on the importance of fostering meaning-making during transitions. Each of these efforts is included and recommended as a good practice in student affairs.
