Have Questions?
If you are interested in participating in FYE-related programs/events, would like assistance with FYE-related issues, or simply have a question, please contact us.

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.

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.
