Faculty
The Fresh Life faculty is a diverse group of professors eager to respond to the needs of Fresh Life students with their experience and guidance. Staff members from Student Development and other faculty members contribute to the development of the Fresh Life program, insuring that all aspects of the first-year experience are considered in the Fresh Life curriculum. Each year, teaching assistants are carefully selected from upperclassmen to share their previous experiences in and outside of the classroom.
