First-Year Experience
The First-Year Experience (FYE) is a program designed to support new college students as they transition from high school to higher education. It typically includes orientation sessions, academic advising, and workshops that help students develop essential skills for success, such as time management and study techniques. FYE programs aim to create a sense of community and belonging among first-year students.
Many colleges and universities offer FYE initiatives that may include mentorship opportunities, social events, and resources for academic support. These programs often focus on enhancing student engagement and retention, ensuring that students feel connected to their institution and are better prepared for their academic journey.
