First-Year Experience Programs

First-Year Experience Programs are designed to support new college students as they transition into higher education. These programs provide resources, orientation events, mentorship, and activities that help students acclimate academically, socially, and personally. The goal is to boost student engagement, foster a sense of community, and promote academic success during the critical first year. By connecting students with campus services and peers early on, these programs aim to improve retention and ensure a positive start to their college journey.
