PAS 1000: Planning For Academic Success/First Year Experience
First Year Experience Brochure
What are some of the things you think are important to know for incoming student starting college in general and specifically to Prince George’s Community College?
For this assignment, you will design a brochure to assist in the transition from high school to college. Your brochure will consist of your learning experiences in your first semester and ways to avoid mistakes in your second semester.
The function of a brochure is to create interest to the reader. The point is to hook your audience into reading the brochure. Remember, your audience is important when designing a brochure! This FYE brochure is to help future PGCC students make an easier transition to college. Please add your personal experiences and perhaps a quote from another student. Make the brochure as personalized as possible! This brochure can be serious or humorous. On a separate sheet, site your sources.
