Office of Freshman Programs
About the Office
The Office of Freshman Programs helps ease the transition from high school to college by offering events that encourage first-year students to interact with their peers and share experiences available on- and off-campus. These activities include social gatherings, cultural outings, writing seminars, and talks by noted artists, educators, and researchers.
Complimentary Academic Planner
All students who enroll in a Freshman Programs course will receive an academic planner compliments of the Office of Freshman Programs.
