The First Year Exeprience Program traditionally collects information for the First Year START packets which are distributed to new students and their family members during the Summer START & Parent Orientation Program.  This year, in an effort to promote more sustainable practices, we will be distributing all information in a USB Flash Drive as PDF files.

As an additional resource for new students and families, this "clearinghouse" website contains all of the files, and links to relevant websites" that are included in the "FYE Flash Drive" in the event it is lost, corrupted, or misplaced.
