First-Year Seminar (FYS 101)

First-Year Seminar (FYS 101) is a semester-length, one-credit course that engages all first-year and transfer students in exploring the following areas:

• Belonging
• Interdependence
• Health and Wellness
• Development of Identity   
• Socialization
• Prejudice
• Discrimination
• Bias
• Stereotypes

Students will engage on these topics both within their FYS 101 section, University-wide as well as in school/college-level experiential activities. To facilitate meaningful small group discussions, each class is structured with up to 19 students from multiple schools and colleges. It is led by a Lead Instructor and a Peer Leader, selected from experienced staff, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students.

Explore an overview of some of the school/college-level programming that will be happening in weeks 6, 9 and 14 of FYS 101 today!
