First Year Experience (FE) Initiative

What is the First Year Experience (FE) Initiative?

The First Year Experience Initiative is a retention and early intervention program offered to students who are participants of Students Support Services (SSS).

What does the First Year Experience (FE) Initiative offer?

 The First Year Experience Initiative has the following components:

• A series of workshops outside of classroom time held on campus.  Five workshops are scheduled and students are required to attend at least four.  Workshop topics include: 

Navigating the College Environment          

Learning and Personality Styles

Time and Stress Management       

Goal Setting and Career Planning   

Money Management               

Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Successful Students"  

• First year participants in the same major are identified and encouraged to enroll in the same course sections in order to develop peer study groups and benefit from the peer support that is especially needed by first generation students. 
• Authorize SSS to request academic information and to discuss issues relative to your academic and personal success with campus and community resources throughout program enrollment.
