The transition from high school to college involves personal, emotional, financial, and geographic, as well as academic changes. To offer special assistance to incoming freshmen, faculty, staff members, and students have developed a program called Fresh Life. Professors from various academic departments across campus collaborate with the student support staff to create an environment in which students meet these challenges as part of a learning community. Upperclassmen serve as teaching assistants, sharing their experience as successful students.
The Fresh Life program continues a process that begins with orientation sessions in the summer. The program is designed to help you to
- adjust to college life
- network with other students
- manage time
- develop friendships
- be a well-rounded student
- be more organized
- prepare for tests and other assignments
