The First Year Experience (FYE) sets a foundation for first-time college students to be successful by engaging them in programs that support academic growth, utilize campus resources, prioritize personal wellbeing, and build meaningful relationships. The First Year Experience helps students feel connected to the campus and empowers them to use WNCs resources to reach their goals. Orientation can go only so far in making freshmen feel connected. WNC instills FYE into the curriculum by offering first-year seminars or other programs that bring small groups of students together with faculty or staff on a regular basis.
