One such program aimed specifically at keeping promising freshmen at USU is Cream of the Crop. Freshmen with an ACT score higher than 24 whiie meeting other academic and requirements are now invited to be a part of the program, she said. Kinkead said more than 900 of 2459 are in the program this year. The purpose of Cream of the Crop is to simply better the undergraduate experience. According to a letter sent to Cream extra-curricul- r- vV7tL IllJlUMf LOGAN No one ever said being a freshman was easy.

"We're trying to be rather We need to know what is than passive. good and bad about being a first-yestudent at USU, Kinkead said. "If we know what the problem is then we can deal with it" Kinkead has held "bull sessions" as well as sent out email questionnaires where Cream of the Crop students can speak their mind about problems they are having at school. Many students have given feedback to the school and changes are already being made. "Right away things are being done. It helps me so much to determine improvements that need to be made Kinkead said. For instance, I knew immediately that we needed to fix the bottleneck occurring in general education classes." Aside from identifying the negative, Kinkead said the feedback from Cream of the Crop students has also allowed the university to thank professors who students have mentioned as being very helpful. Feedback, whether positive or negative, is shared with deans and department beads to aid in providing Cream of the Crop students with proper advisement and more opportunities.
