What are First Year Fellows?
First Year Fellows (FYFs) serve as a transitional support system for students as they face new academic challenges and concerns during their first year of college. FYFs enrich the community with opportunities for academic excellence, campus engagement, and professional development through mentoring, academic role modeling, educational programming, and personal interactions.
My FYF and I don't have the same major.
That's okay. FYFs are trained on a wide range of topics including advising, academic policies, and academic resources. If they do not have an answer, they can find the answer and/or connect you to the right person to help you.
Also, while FYFs focus on the residents on their floor(s), FYFs are available to all residents living on campus. If you're a computer science major, and you have some questions about what it's like in computer science, feel free to reach out to one of the FYFs majoring in computer science! We're a community, and we're here to help!
