Moore, Kimberly B.

While the modified section of a required first-year writing course has some limitations, the summer course supports students’ development of more complex writing processes and provides access to college capital prior to their university matriculation. In this profile we describe our course design, assessment of outcomes, and primary assessment results, and we offer reflections on and recommendations for designing transitional writing courses for underrepresented students based on our experiences.  \n“We would like to make a summer section ofENG 110 a part of a larger Transitions Program for our graduating seniors, a key summer experience to help them be best prepared for their life as college freshmen at a variety of schools.”  \n—Email from Elon Academy Representative to College Writing Coordinator“The Elon Academy request presents a terrific opportunity to pilot a summer session that extends beyond the traditional summer session time boundaries (5 weeks instead of 3) and provides additional support through a daily two-hour Writing Workshop.”  \n—Internal Grant Application led by College Writing Coordinator, in collaboration with Elon Academy Representative and ENG 110 Faculty Member  \nWhat role can first-year writing courses play in supporting underrepresented{1} [\\#note1] students’transitions to college? A seemingly simple request from the assistant director of a college access and success program provided an opportunity to explore this question. Numerous studies have described the achievement and opportunity gaps that often exist between dominant and underrepresented groups in college. Students from low-income or first generation homes, in particular, may arrive without access to the same sociocultural capital of their more affluent peers – resources, knowledge, skills, and dispositions that traditionally lead to success in higher education. Instead, they commonly have limited access to rigorous and well-resourced high school preparation; cultural mismatches with traditional curriculums and schooling routines; significant emotional and economic pressures; and inadequate advising about the college pathways, financial aid opportunities, and other resources for success. Once accepted to college, underrepresented students must then compete with peers who may have experienced a greater variety of privileged extracurricular opportunities (e.g., science camps, international travel, extra arts and athletics lessons, etc.), as well as the confidence passed along by family members who possess generations of college experience (Davis; Klugman and Butler; Strayhorn) . In addition, colleges tend to reflect dominant cultural modes in their curriculum, climate, and student body culture, and students from underrepresented groups often report feeling marginalized or outside of the college experience for a variety of reasons (Villalpando and Solórzano; Yosso, Smith, Ceja, and Solórzano) . Their social worlds and cultural strengths are often unrepresented and unrecognized inside and outside of the classroom.
