FYS1999 First Year Success
First Year Success is a co-curricular program designed for first-year, degree-seeking students. It aims to help students land at the University, find their place in Paris and in our residences, build friend connections and feel at ease in our community. The program kicks off with a Welcome Day at Orientation and carries on throughout the year with a series of workshops scheduled on alternating weeks with the FirstBridge seminar. Topics covered include navigating Paris and the AUP campus, time management, wellness and diversity. A common read and weekend trip are also offered in the Fall. Each FYS group is assigned a Student Advisor and faculty or staff FYS Mentor.
