| First-Year
Advising
Each first-year
student is assigned an advisor to help with the transition to
college life. Typically, your first-year advisor will be your
First-Year Seminar instructor unaffiliated with your intended
major. Major advisors are assigned when students officially
declare their majors, starting in their second semester.
The First-Year
Seminar is
a topical, academically focused experience designed to assist
students both intellectually and socially in the first year of
college. Seminars are intended to:
- Introduce
students to collegiate academic expectations.
- Develop
communication skills and critical analysis/synthesis skills.
- Familiarize
students with college-level research.
Peer Mentors
Each seminar
group has two specially selected and trained upperclass students
who support the advisors and work during orientation and beyond
to assist first-year students in getting established and acquainted.
