Whether living on campus or off, in the First Year Program you will be welcomed and supported by our team of professors, administrators, and upper-class student mentors committed to helping you make your first year on campus your best year yet!
The First Year Program offers support in the following ways:
- Building student confidence
- Identifying a network of educational and emotional support
- Determining specific goals for academic, physical, and personal accomplishment
- Encouraging involvement and participation in campus life
- Monitoring academic progress and encouraging academic engagement
- Fostering awareness of the value of a college education
- Creating a commitment to community
- While our program for first year students begins at Summer Orientation and Registration, it continues throughout the entire first year.
