The Cornerstone Seminar is a one-credit hour course designed to support freshman and transfer students as they transition to Lewis University in their first semester of college. Part of the General Education requirement, this course provides students with an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Lewis University's Catholic and Lasallian Mission as well as grow and develop the skills needed to become successful at Lewis. The course provides resources and information to support academic advising and also introduces students to a variety of campus resources that will assist them during their transition to college life. Small groups of 18-20 students meet once a week in sessions facilitated by a faculty or staff mentor. Students who fail Cornerstone Seminar must repeat the course until a passing grade is earned.

ICE: SUCCESS Lab, held each spring semester, continues to address college transition themes covered during the fall semester.  This course is  open only to students enrolled in the SUCCESS Program.

This course is designed to prepare students for study abroad, monitor their experience during study abroad, and aid them in assessing the academic and cultural value of study abroad through a pre-departure session, required communication during the experience, and a re-entry session.
