Research indicates that the more students are involved and have a sense of belonging, the more likely they will stay in college.
This program for first year, on-campus residents, offers workshops throughout each semester and “F.Y.R.E. - side chats” with faculty to help your student learn about majors, learn to navigate the academic system, develop sharper study skills, and meet other first-year residential students.
