First-Year Experience

Bridge Week will be held from August 19–23 this year and will have full first-year student participation for the third year in a row. 

“Bridge Week is really the beginning of students' college experience,” said Michele Luzetski, associate director of First-Year Experience. “It’s not an add-on feature; it’s a start of their experience.” 

New students take a first-year seminar class in conjunction with their first semester. Fourteen different first-year seminar course subjects and over 100 sections will be available.
