The experience of being in Spectrum Scholars varies year to year. Students receiving comprehensive services meet with Spectrum Scholars staff regularly.
Incoming first-year students attend Spectrum Scholars Summer Orientation, an 8-week series of information sessions about different topics related to University of Delaware and college transition. This summer orientation builds off New Student Orientation and connects students directly to key campus partners and resources.
During academic semesters, students work with coaches in scheduled weekly meetings where they set up for college success, seek out support, and strengthen executive functioning skills, among other topics.
In all cases, students are the drivers of coaching sessions, which include topics ranging from academics and self-advocacy to career development and social engagement.
