Opportunities for New Students
From the very beginning of your collegiate career, First Year Programs is there to help create opportunities for you to connect with your fellow students, faculty, and staff. Your GC journey begins during PAWS, through your New Student Orientation, and beyond to help you create meaningful relationships, achieve academic success, and grow as a person.

The Planning and Advising Workshops, or PAWS, take place in the spring and early summer to get new students ready to begin classes in the fall.
Connect

Engage
