First year Experience
|
Applications now available for START Leaders, due Feb. 10 >>
The First-Year Experience (FYE) program is coordinated through Student Development Programs, in cooperation with various student life partners and academic programs. The central theme of the six FYE components is Finding Philadelphia, learning about the history, culture, diversity, and wealth of activities in the city, our extended campus. Our comprehensive approach to your first-year experience begins with START and New Student Orientation, which includes the Summer Reading; integrates both your curricular and co-curricular experiences; includes faculty oriented academic advising; and is centered on your residential community. FYE program is designed to provide support and encouragement to new students at Philadelphia University and help ensure they succeed personally and academically. Research is clear, and our experience has demonstrated, that students who actively engage in all of the FYE components are more likely to be successful and have a more enriching college experience. Philadelphia University believes that community service initiatives are a
central part of the undergraduate experience. Accordingly, the
office of Community Service works to increase
student access to the community service opportunities, serve as an informational
resource about community agencies, supports students' civic engagement, and
promotes service as a tool for learning. Contact Information: First Year Experience email: FYE@PhilaU.edu Campus address: Mailing address: |
