He or she will contact you once each week during your first semester, invite you to meetings of student organizations, give advice on your schedule and other matters, and serve as your peer away from home.
  3. You will learn through your first year seminar, strategies of college study, time management skills, technology skills, and career development/enhancement strategies that will help you make the most of your academic experience.
