First-Year Experience

The First Year Experience (FYE) program at UW-River Falls helps new students become successful and well-oriented members of the campus community. We assist new students as they transition to and through college by sponsoring programs and services that connect new students, transfer students, and their families with the UW-River Falls campus community. We facilitate communication and develop connections that provide new students with the information, resources, and support they need to be successful at UW-River Falls and beyond.

FYE programs and components include: New Student Registration; Weeks of Welcome; Academic Day; Family Day; new student and family communications;and developing partnerships with faculty/staff that connect students with academic and co-curricular activities.

Our Mission: We are dedicated to helping new students make a successful transition to campus so they can become productive, creative, ethical, engaged citizens and leaders with an informed global perspective.

FYE has a dedicated team of student staff and volunteers.
