A winter intersession program has challenges, but more importantly, benefits that distinguish it from summer bridge programs. We designed JUMP to help students build their skills to succeed in lecture and laboratory courses and strengthen their bond to the major and science careers. Thus far, 26 students have participated in JUMP: 73% were female, 54% were students of color (SOC), 62% were Pell grant recipients, and 42% were first-generation college students. Our analyses indicate that the program contributes to advancement to graduation. Scholars graduated at a statistically significantly higher rate in the life sciences than other students in the same cohorts (p= 0 .007) . Pell grant recipients graduated in the life sciences at a significantly higher rate than other Pell grant recipients (p= 0 .009) The majority of the participants reported that JUMP made them more comfortable in the biology department and confident in themselves as scientists. JUMP is adaptable to other institutions seeking opportunities to mitigate conditions that put student success at risk.  \n Keywords: undergraduate; winter break; students of color; first-generation; Pell grant   \nIntroduction  \nMost college students need a new skill set for college courses, especially in life science curricula. Some pre-college situations put students at high risk of attrition from life science majors particularly in the first year of college. Students who are particularly in need are students whose high schools lacked theresources to prepare them for a rigorous science curriculum. Low-income students are disproportionally represented in this group (Kuh et al. 2006; Engle &Tinto, 2008; Executive Office of the President, 2014) yet, enrollment of low-income students is increasing nationwide (Calahan et al., 2021) . We developed a five-day intersession program called January Undergraduate Move Ahead Program (JUMP) to give high financial need scholarship students a \"jump ahead\" for their second semester first-year biology course and a career in the life sciences.  \nThe high-need JUMP scholars included students who were members of other groups that may experience conditions that put them at risk of attrition from life science majors. First-generation college students are one group with additional barriers to success. The first year can be particularly difficult as they lack their parents' first-year college experiences as a model of what to expect (Padgett et al., 2012) . Some first-generation college students struggle with how to advocate for themselves in both academic and extracurricular situations, and how to make use of tutoring and other university services (Collier & Morgan, 2008; Cataldi et al., 2018) .  \nStudents of color (SOC) are often first-generation and low-income college students (Adams & McBrayer, 2020) . Once they reach campus, SOC often face stereotyping and prejudice. Many SOC feel isolated and are subjected to microaggressionsin the classroom from both other students and faculty (Banks & Dohy, 2019; Adams & McBrayer, 2020) .  \nVariations on a theme: the diversity of winter break programs  \nSome colleges and universities throughout the US have seized the opportunity to develop winter intersession programs  \n(Marcus, 2019) . Winter break programs for students starting college in the spring semester or transferring to a four-year institution (Galvez et al., 2014; Enriquez et al., 2017) are similar to summer bridg","cbCaiqodcQBYXwJ3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqodcQBYXwJ3","pdf",906365,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Variations on a theme: the diversity of winter break programs\n# Materials and Methods\n## JUMP: Preparing First-year Students for Second semester","[{\"question\":\"What is the January Undergraduate Move Ahead Program (JUMP)?\",\"answer\":\"JUMP is a five-day winter intersession program that uses winter break to prepare high-financial-need scholarship students for the second semester of first-year biology and careers in life sciences.\"},{\"question\":\"Which participant groups are included in the JUMP scholars?\",\"answer\":\"JUMP targets first-year students intending to major in biology-related fields, with emphasis on high financial need; reported groups include female students, students of color, Pell grant recipients, and first-generation college students.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the study report for JUMP effectiveness?\",\"answer\":\"Analyses indicate JUMP contributes to advancement to graduation, including statistically significantly higher life-sciences graduation rates for scholars and for Pell grant recipients compared with other students in the cohorts.\"}]","Factors for First-Year College Biology Students - January Undergraduate Move Ahead Program (JUMP) | PDF",1792080507,18]
