The LIFT program matches first-generation students with librarians/technologists at a national liberal arts college. Since 2013, information literacy and audiovisual production are the campus frame for cohort and mentor relationships with incoming at-risk students. LIFT involves mobile devices, digital reflection assignments, and off-campus May term programs in Montreal and Hawaii.
