First Year Experience

Get Established 鈥� Get Connected 鈥� Get Going

First Year Experience is a collegewide initiative to connect all new students with 色库TV resources 鈥� plus connect you with each other as you learn about student life, support services, and the overall college culture.

Whether you're a first-time in college high school grad, a former dual enrolled student, a transfer or bachelor student of any age, First Year Experience (nicknamed FYE) is for you if you're new to 色库TV!

We kicked off FYE 2025-26 with special Welcome and Field Day events on August 13th & 14th for incoming Fall Term 2025 students. These events were focused on fun! They were not your required first-time in college or bachelor program advising sessions. Instead they're a chance for you to get a head start on feeling supported and becoming part of the college community before classes even start.

We loved meeting so many of you and we'll add to our photo gallery and update our album link below soon.

Monthly FYE Events On All Four Campuses

Once you've become involved through a summer kick-off event, be sure to check our calendar because your FYE team will hold ongoing, monthly connect activities on each campus for you to receive the latest helpful info, support, programming, and more!

"My favorite part of the day was getting to talk to each person at the individual booths, as well as meeting a woman at my table in the presentation room who has a toddler girl like I do."

"Today was a blast being able to learn about my potential classmates, as well as recognizing all the opportunities that were presented!"

"Getting that good feeling of comfort that anyone could be there for you 鈥� scared no longer!"
