- Scholar Leader FY Advising

Catalog description

The Scholar-Leader First-Year Advising Experience is a community of first-year students who have an identifiable interest in leadership, academic enrichment, and selective fellowship opportunities. These courses provide a foundation of skills and experiences in preparation for leadership, scholarship, and service. In the first semester, students develop personal and professional skills that support a healthy transition to college. Students reflect on their values and goals to shape their career exploration and identify areas of potential academic scholarship and leadership impact. In the second semester, students focus on developing leadership and networking skills and exploring competitive fellowships, internships, and research opportunities. The Scholar-Leader First-Year Advising Experience includes the pre-orientation trip called Exordium (The Beginning) before fall classes.
